Electrochemically driven Michael reaction: synthesis of hydroquinone thioethers

Abstract

An original method for the synthesis of a diverse array of hydroquinone thioethers with yields of 36% to 99% under mild conditions is described. The process is voltammetrically controlled and involves electrogenerating active protonated p-quinone followed by thiol addition.
