The Synthesis of 5-Hydroxybenzofurans via Tandem In Situ Oxidative Coupling and Cyclization
A series of 5-hydroxybenzofurans have been prepared by PIDA-mediated oxidation and coupling cyclization of β-dicarbonyl compounds and hydroquinones. The reaction functionalizes C(sp2)–H of hydroquinones directly with yields of target molecules up to 96%.

Versatile Biaryls and Fused Aromatics through Oxidative Coupling of Hydroquinones with (Hetero)Arenes [PDF]
Hydroquinones bearing an electron-withdrawing group at the C2-position effectively underwent oxidative coupling with indoles or arenes in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano p-benzoquinone (DDQ) and FeCl3 to give the corresponding biaryls.

Directed Synthesis of Humic and Fulvic Derivatives with Enhanced Antioxidant Properties
Redox moieties, which are present in the molecular backbone of humic substances (HS), govern their antioxidant properties. We hypothesized that a directed modification of the humic backbone via incorporation of redox moieties with known redox properties ...
