| Abstract: | The reaction of ozone with 3,6-di-tert-butylpyrocatechol at  20°C was investigated, and it was found that the main reaction product was 3,6-di-tert-butylquinone, while the reaction rate was proportional to the concentrations of the reagents. A reaction scheme explaining the mechanism of formation of the main and side products is proposed.N. N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117977 Moscow.
