โฆ Synopsis
Cyclobutenediones can be prepared from cyclic and acyclic ketones by a simple four step procedure. Having previously demonstrated that benzocyclobutenediones and alkynes could be converted to naphthoquinones through the intermediacy of phthaloylmetal complexes, 2-5 we sought to establish the same reaction sequence using cyclobutenediones and alkynes as a means of synthesizing benzoquinones. A search of the literature 6-14 showed that only certain types of cyclobutenediones were readily prepared (aryl substituted cyclobutenediones and derivatives of squaric acid and semisquaric acid).
