An environmentally friendly electrochemical method for synthesis of benzofuranoquinone derivatives.
Electrochemical oxidation of catechols (1a-c) has been studied in the presence of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphtoquinone (3b) in aqueous solutions, using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. The results indicated that the electrochemically generated o-benzoquinones (2a-c) participate in Michael addition reaction with 3b to the corresponding benzofuranoquinones (8a-c, 10a-c). The electrochemical synthesis of these compounds has been successfully preformed at a carbon rod electrode with good yields using an environmentally friendly method.
