The reaction of 2, 5-dialkylhydroquinones, 2-methyl-5-ethylhydroquinone (II), 2, 5-diethyl-hydroquinone (III), 2-methyl-5-propylhydroquinone (IV), and 2, 5-dipropylhydroquinone (V), with maleic anhydride was investigated. Of these hydroquinone homologs, (II) and (III) gave the maleic anhydride adducts, (VIIa) or (VIIb) and (VIII), respectively. The effect of alkyl groups on the reactivity of the hydroquinone homologs is discussed.
