2-Bromo-5-iodo-hydroquinone and its Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Dialkylethers

  • Sigurd Höger , Klaus Bonrad , Gabriele Schäfer and Volker Enkelmann

2-Bromo-5-iodo-hydroquinone dialkylethers are prepared by the stepwise halogenation and alkylation of hydroquinone monoalkylethers using simple and easily performable reactions. Boron tribromide induced cleavage of the dipropoyl ether gives the parent compound 2-bromo- 5-iodo-hydroquinone in good yields.
