Bis-silylated hydroquinones

Quinones with higher reduction potential react faster that those with lower reduction potential. 1,2-Benzoquinones are also reduced to the corresponding bis-silylated hydroquinones. 

Compound 144 reduces quinones to the corresponding bis-silylated hydroquinones through a proposed free-radical mechanistic pathway (Scheme 81).212...
