Popis: In strongly acid solutions the dimer 3 dissociates to the quinone 1 and quinone methide 2 which recombine with elimination of p -methoxybenzyl alcohol to form the xanthylium salt 9a . With zinc and acetic acid 3 yields isormeric meso- and dl-ethylenediquinol derivatives 14a . Sodium borohydride reduction of 3 yields an alcoholic quinol 5a which rapidly reoxidizes to the spiro-tetrahydrofuran derivative 24a . Possible mechanisms which may be involved in the formation of these rearranged products are discussed.
