Abstract

We have demonstrated a Diels-Alder reaction of an o- quinone generated in an electrochemical flow microreactor. In the flow microreactor system, 4- tert -butyl- o- benzoquinone was easily electrogenerated from 4- tert -butylpyrocatechol in the absence of chemical oxidants and then rapidly used, without decomposing, in a subsequent Diels-Adler reaction with various fulvenes to give the desired products efficiently.
