Abstract
Superoxide ion (O2-) generated in situ by electrochemical reduction of molecular oxygen in dimethylformamide at mercury cathode, acts as an effective nucleophile with tosylates (1a-5a) of phenol, alpha-naphthol , beta-naphthol, p-cresol, cyclohexanol and ditosylates (6a-7a) of res orcinol and hydroquinone affording phenols (1b-7b) in good to excellen t yields.
