- The mass spectrum of this product always showed the molecular ion of 9 and that of the more volatile corresponding methoxy quinone (m/e 362) which is produced in the reaction in small quantities. The MeO peak in the nmr spectrum barely managed to exceed the noise
- The immediate yield was somewhat lower but certain fractions containing only partially methylated material were re-methylated (Me2SO4, K2CO3, acetone)
