Electrochemical oxidation of catechol in the presence of cyclopentadiene. Investigation of electrochemically induced Diels-Alder reactions.
We describe the synthesis and kinetic evaluation of compounds from [4 + 2] alone and [4 + 2] followed by [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of electrochemically generated o-benzoquinone with 1,3-cyclopentadiene.
