Electrochemical-In-Situ-Oxidative Sulfonylation of Phenols with Sulfinic Acids as an Access to Sulfonylated Hydroquinones

The electrochemical in-situ oxidative sulfonylation of phenols with sulfinic acids access to sulfonylated hydroquinones has been developed. A series of sulfonylated hydroquinones were prepared under mild mediator-, catalyst- and exogenous-oxidant-free con

Green and mild laccase-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of benzenediol derivatives with various sodium benzenesulfinates

The oxidative coupling reaction between hydroquinone or catechols and various sodium benzenesulfinates was investigated using the laccase from Trametes versicolor, in the presence of O2in a phosphate buffer solution at room temperature to afford sulfonyl benzenediols in 75–95% yield.

Metal-free sulfonylation of quinones with sulfonyl hydrazides in water: Facile access to mono-sulfonylated hydroquinones

This paper describes a simple and practical protocol for the direct synthesis of monosulfonylated hydroquinones through a transition-metal-free cross-coupling between quinones and sulfonyl hydrazides in water. The procedure tolerates a variety of quinones
