Chloranil, Tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone
Chloranil, and the parent benzoquinone, are relatively mild oxidants (dehydrogenation reagents).
Recent Literature
A palladium-catalyzed intramolecular amination of alkenes with tosyl-protected
amines was achieved under mild reaction conditions in the presence of chloranil
to provide versatile dihydropyrrole derivatives with retention of olefin
functionalization in good yields.

N-Benzyl ketimines undergo [3 + 2] cycloaddition with arylacetylenes
in KOtBu/DMSO solution to provide 2,3,5-triarylpyrrolines in good yields. A
subsequent in situ oxidation with chloranil or DDQ gives 2,3,5-triaryl-2H-pyrroles
in
good yields.

An oxidative annulation of o-allylanilines provides 2,4-diarylquinolines
in good yields in the presence of chloranil as recyclable oxidant. Furthermore,
a one-pot access to 2,4-diarylquinolines from easily available anilines and
1,3-diarylpropenes is described.
