Abstract

The reaction of electrochemically generated anthradiquinone as a Michael acceptor with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole, as nucleophiles in ethanol/water mixtures has been studied by means of cyclic voltammetry. Our voltammetric data indicate that produced anthradiquinone participates in Michael addition reaction with nucleophiles and via an ECEC mechanism converts to the new anthraquinonethioether derivatives. Based on an EC mechanism, the observed homogeneous rate constant of the Michael reaction of anthradiquinone with nucleophiles were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammograms with the digital simulated results.
