Abstract

A mild and green method was developed for the aryl-monosubstituted or aryl-disubstituted quinones compounds under electrochemical conditions. We found that the existence of O2 and trace water may be beneficial to the formation of product. This protocol exhibits a broad range of functional tolerance and satisfactory yields for accessing aryl-substituted quinones under ambient conditions at room temperature.
