Overview

Electrochemical synthesis produces a carbon dimer in controlled conditions, suggesting new pathways for organic transformations.

Key Points

  • The aim is to selectively synthesize a carbon dimer from diphenylphenol under electrochemical conditions.
  • Electrochemical synthesis under variable potential
  • Formation of para,para carbon-carbon dimer
  • Conversion to reduced dibenzofuran at room temperature
  • Control of reaction using electricity and light
  • Successful formation of tetraphenyl dibenzoquinone from diphenylphenol
  • Dimer reduced to dibenzofuran
  • Controlled reactions led to efficient conversions
