  4. Abstract:
  5. The electrochemical oxidation of catechol in the presence of 2-thiouracil (as a nucleophile) has been studied in aqueous solutions using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometric techniques. The results indicate that catechol participating in a 1,4 (Michael) addition reaction converts to a new thiadiazafluorenone compound. The electrochemical synthesis of this compound has been successfully performed in an undivided cell in a good yield and purity and was characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. © 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V
