β¦ Synopsis
It has been reported (without yields) that the sunlight photolysis of chloranil1 in absolute ethanol produces tetrachlorohydroquinone 2 and trichlorohydroxy-P-bennzoquinone 2.l This finding was of interest to us in the context of our studies on dipolar state intermediates in dienones. However, the term "absolute" is a relative one when applied to ethanol since sufficient water is present for direct displacement on the quinone nucleus in a non-photochemical process. In addition, chloranil normally contains trichlorohydroxy-p-bensoquinone as an impurity (approximately 0.25%). 3 Hence, we undertook to verify the photochemical displacement of chlorine
