New convenient synthesis of iridol. An approach to the synthesis of ubiquinones

New convenient synthesis of iridol. An approach to the synthesis of ubiquinones - Tetrahedron Letters, 46(8), p.1255-1257, 2005 .

A strategy for the synthesis of ubiquinones, in which iridol is the key intermediate, has been developed, together with a new convenient synthesis of iridol (2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylphenol)starting from the easily available 4-methylphenol and using mild conditions and friendly and high-yielding reactions.
