Electrochemical synthesis of bi-1,4-naphthoquinonyl derivatives
Abstract
Electrolysis of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives with magnesium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte in aqueous acetic acid has led to oxidative dimerization of the quinone and is a new, convenient, and selective method of preparation of 2,2′-bi-1,4-naphthoquinonyl derivatives.
