Abstract

Unique nucleophilic substitution and addition reactions of 1, 4-quinones in aqueous suspension with aromatic amines, primary aliphatic amines, amino acid, ester of amino acid, heterocyclic amines, hydrazine, amide, and thioethers are described in absence of catalyst against the traditional synthetic routes of these reactions in non-aqueous medium in presence of catalyst.
