Arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salts undergo facile electron transfer reactions with hydroquinone in aqueous phosphate-buffered solutions containing the hydrogen donor solvent acetonitrile. Reaction rates are first-order in hydroquinone and arenediazonium ion concentrations, and they exhibit inverse first order dependence on the hydrogen ion concentration over the pH range of 1. C-9.5. Benzoquinone and arene are the principal ...
