Abstract

AbstractThe reaction of electrochemically generated o‐benzoquinones (2a‐f) as Michael acceptors with 2‐acetylcyclohexanone (ACH) and 2‐acetylcyclopentanone (ACP), as nucleophiles has been studied in various pHs using cyclic voltammetry. The results indicate that the participation of o‐benzoquinones (2a‐f) in the Michael reaction with acetylcyclohexanone (ACH) to form the corresponding catechol derivatives (4a‐f). Based on an EC mechanism, the homogeneous rate constants were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammetric responses with the digital simulated results.
