Abstract The oxidation reaction of 1,4‐benzodioxin 1 by m ‐chloroperbenzoic acid ( m ‐CPBA) and t ‐butyl hydroperoxide ( t ‐BHP) are reported. 1,2‐Benzoquinone 2 was given in moderate yields by the m ‐CPBA oxidation of 1,4‐benzodioxin 1 , while 1,2‐benzoquinone 2 was predominantly formed by t ‐BHP oxidation.
