Monoterpenic hydroquinone di-Me ethers I (R = Me, CHO) were synthesized starting from a common intermediate, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylacetophenone II (R1 = H). Reaction of NBS on II (R1 = H) gives the bromomethyl compd. II (R1 = Br) which is converted into the keto acetate II (R1 = OAc) by exchange with OAc-. Grignard reaction with CH3MgI transforms II (R1 = OAc) to III from which I (R = CHO) is obtained by oxidative dehydration with MnO2. Compd. I (R = Me) is obtained from II (R1 = H) by the action of CH3MgI, followed by dehydration with MnO2.
