In the one-step electrocatalytic oxidation of benzene with 02 using the Cu (I)/Cu (II) redox couple as a mediator, hydroquinone was obtained in the current efficiency of 35-42%. The electrolysis with continuous extraction of the oxidation products yielded p-benzoquinone in the current efficiency of 50%. The reaction mechanism for the formation of hydroquinone and p-benzoquinone is fully discussed.It is well known that benzene is electrolytically oxidized on PbO2 (1-4) and glassy carbon (5) anodes to give p-benzoquinone in current yield of 30-60%. Indirect oxidation of benzene using Ag § 2+ couple as a mediator also gives pbenzoquinone in current yield of 30-55%(6, 7). In 1971, Tomat and Vecchi found that benzene can be" cathodically" oxidized to phenol by use of electrogenerated Fenton's reagent (8)
