Abstract
A process whereby photograde quality hydroquinone can be separated from the reaction mixture produced by a rearrangement of p-diisopropylbenzene dihydroperoxide, which process comprises the steps of (1) subjecting the mixture to hydrogenation to remove color; (2) concentrating the colorless solution; (3) adding a solvent to the concentrated mixture which dissolves impurities but which causes the hydroquinone to precipitate; and (4) separating the hydroquinone from the supernatant liquid in step (3).
