Type JournalPaper
Keywords N-Phenylquinoneimine derivatives, Green chemistry, 4-Morpholinoaniline, Cyclic voltammetry, Reaction mechanism, Electrochemical synthesis
Abstract In this paper, two green electrochemical strategies for the synthesis of new Nphenylquinoneimine derivatives are reported. In the first strategy, the electrophilic activity of electrochemically generated quinone−diimine derivatives was used in reaction with phenol as a model nucleophile. In the second strategy, the electrochemically formed 4-tert-butyl-obenzoquinone was used as a model Michael acceptor in the reaction with 4- morpholinoaniline, N-(4-aminophenyl) acetamide, and fast violet B. The reaction mechanism in both strategies is electron transfer−chemical reaction−electron transfer/ disproportionation (ECE/DISP). This study provided some new N-phenylquinoneimine derivatives in good yields by a one-pot reaction under ambient conditions without toxic reagents.
