Abstract
|
Synthesis of molecules with desirable functional groups in the absence of catalysts and drastic conditions continues to be of great interest. In organic synthesis, electrochemical electron-transferdriven reactions have been widely used for various transformations.[1] Our previous studies show that the electrochemically generated p-quinone is a reactive intermediate and as a Michael acceptor, participates in different types of reactions [2]. On the other hand barbituric acid derivatives are well known to possess antibacterial, sedatives, herbicides, fungicides and antiviral agents [3]. However, until now, no report has been published about the electrooxidation of 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (1) in the presence of 2- thiobarbituric acid derivatives.
