title: Tandem oxidation-oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling: synthesis of arylquinones from hydroquinones.
abstract: A concise and efficient approach to arylquinones from widely available hydroquinones has been developed through a tandem reaction involving the oxidation of hydroquinones and subsequent oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling of the resulting quinones with arenes.
