✦ Synopsis

For a detailed elucidation of the mechanism of aerial oxidation of 2-tert.alkylhydroquinonea (I) by oxygen in a medium of methanolic KOH solution we have tried to identify by the EPR method the radical intermediates of this reaction, the final products of which are 2-tert.alkyl-6-hydroxpl,dbenzoquinones (II) (1). In the first step aerial oxidation of hydroquinrmes in alkaline
