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.
