This volume of Science of Synthesis covers modern synthetic methods to give quinones and their heteroatom
analogues and is one of nine volumes comprising Category 4 (Compounds with Two Carbon¾Heteroatom Bonds).
The volume has been divided into twelve sections related to classes of quinones (benzo-1,4- and benzo-1,2-quinones, naptho-1,4- and naphtho-1,2-quinones,
anthraquinones, phenanthrene-9,10-diones, and positional isomers) and quinone analogues (sulfur, selenium, and the large class of quinone imines and
diimines, quinone diazides, and quinomethanes). In all cases, the emphasis is on the formation of the quinone functionality. Many experimental details
and procedures are given in order to help the user to find the optimal process for the specific synthetic problem. Whenever appropriate and motivated by
the reactivity of the compounds, the typical reaction pattern of the compounds is described in typical and general examples.
