UV-visible spectroelectrochemical study of some para- and ortho-benzoquinoid compounds: comparative evaluation of their electrochromic properties

Electrochemical and Electron Transfer Behavior of o-Chloranil with the Presence of Mg2+ in Acetonitrile

“…The increase in the absorption was attributed to the generation of o-CA *À in Equation 4. The wavelength region is in agreement with the reported results [11,15].…”

“…On the interactions of o-CA *À with metal cations, up to now, the electrochemical analysis of the complexation only with Na has been carried out from the viewpoint of the formation of electrochromic materials [10,11].…”

Investigation of the Electromethoxylation Reaction Part 2: Electrochemical Study of 3-Methylcatechol and 2,3-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde in Methanol

“…In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the study of the reactions between quinones produced from the oxidation of catechols and other nucleophiles, for mechanistic [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and synthetic [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] reasons. In this direction we have reported the electrochemical oxidation of catechol and 4-methylcatechol in methanol and have shown that these compounds undergo methoxylation reactions according to ECECE and ECE mechanisms, with consumption of 6 and 4 electrons per molecule, to give 4,5-dimethoxy and 4-methoxy-5-methyl-o-benzoquinone, respectively [20].…”

Mechanistic Aspects of On‐Line Electrochemical Tagging of Free L‐Cysteine Residues during Electrospray Ionisation for Mass Spectrometry in Protein Analysis

“…Certain mechanistic aspects of electroactive hydroquinone and catechol systems have previously been studied,3–7 mainly in order to optimise and clarify electrosynthesis 8, 9. More recently, the use of catechol derivatives as precursors for electrogenerated electrophiles in 1,4‐Michael additions has been described 10–14.…”
