Kinetic Study of the Oxidation of Catechols in the Presence of N-Methylaniline

The reactions of electrochemically generated o-quinones from oxidation of catechol and 4-methylcatechol as Michael acceptors with N-methylaniline as nucleophile have been studied using cyclic voltammetry. Voltammetric responses show that oxidation of catechols is followed by Michael addition of N-me...
