Zusammenfassung:A process for synthesizing 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-substituted-1,4-benzoquinones having the formula: wherein R is in which n is an integer of 0 to 9, and A and B are hydrogens or taken together form a valence bond, IN WHICH 2-METHYL-4,5,6-TRIMETHOXYPHENOL IS REACTED WITH BORIC ACID OR A REACTIVE DERIVATIVE THEREOF TO OBTAIN A 2-METHYL-4,5,6-TRIMETHOXYPHENOL ESTER OF BORIC ACID, REACTING THE RESULTING ESTER WITH AN N-PRENOL OR ISO-PRENOL HAVING THE FORMULA: wherein R is as defined above, OR A REACTIVE DERIVATIVE OF SAID N- OR ISO-PRENOL, IN THE PRESENCE OF A SILICA-ALUMINA COMPOUND, TO OBTAIN A 2-METHYL-3-SUBSTITUTED-4,5,6-TRIMETHOXYPHENOL ESTER OF BORIC ACID, AND HYDROLYZING THE THUS-OBTAINED ESTER AND TREATING THE RESULTING 2-METHYL-3-SUBSTITUTED 4,5,6-TRIMETHOXYPHENOL HAVING THE FORMULA: wherein R is as defined above, with an oxidant.
