C.-A. Yu* and L. Yu abstract: Various 6-alkylubiquinone or 6-(tv-haloalkyl)-ubiquinone derivatives were synthesized through a radical coupling reaction between alkanoyl or-haloalkanoyl peroxides and ubiquinone 0. The latter was synthesized from 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol via nitration, methylation, reduction, and oxidation by modifications of the reported methods. 6-(-Haloalkyl) ubiquinones were converted to 6-(a>-hydroxyalkyl) ubiquinones by a mercuric-assisted solvolysis technique. The 6-((v-hydroxyalkyl) ubiquinones were then esterified with carboxylic acid anhydrides or carboxylic acid bearing reporting groups, such as a photoaffinity label, JV-(4-azido-2-nitro-phenyl)-, S-alanine, or a spin-label, 3-carboxy-2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyl-3-pyrrolinyl-1-oxy. Theesterification was catalyzed by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and pyridine, and the esters were purified by preparative silica gel thin-layer chromatography, developed by 3% ethanolin benzene.
