Abstract: o-Benzoquinones and catechols undergo the carbon-carbon bond cleavages induced by a particular copper (11) reagent in the presence as well as in the absence of molecular oxygen. The overall anaerobic transformation of catechol to cis, cis-muconic acid monomethyl ester involves a two-electron oxidation of catechol to o-benzoquinone, followed by a second twoelectron oxidation of the o-benzoquinone to the muconic acid ester. The ...
