Accelerated Diels–Alder reaction of quinones generated in situ by a modified electrode in an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate micellar system

Abstract

Diels–Alder reaction of in situ generated quinones with dienes is accomplished in excellent yield in an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate solution by selective electrooxidation on a glassy carbon electrode modified by cation-exchange resin.
