Abstract

{Reaction of tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone 1 with aqueous sodium hydroxide resulted in a Cannizzaro-type disproportionation into tetrachloromuconic acid and tetrachlorocatechol. The tetrachloromuconic acid was isolated and identified by X-ray crystallography as the methyl ester of the cyclized lactone 3. Crystals of C7H3Cl3O4, 4, are orthorhombic
