Electrochemical oxidation of some catechol derivatives has been studied in the presence of 1,3-indandione as nucleophile in aqueous solution, by means of cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. The results indicate the participation of electrochemically produced o-benzoquinones in the Michael reaction with 1,3-indandione to form the corresponding new catechol derivatives. On the basis of the EC mechanism, the observed homogeneous rate constants (kobs) of reaction of produced o-benzoquinones with 3-indandione were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammograms with the digitally simulated results.
