Hydroxy- (1a-3a) and hydroxyalkyl-substituted benzoquinones (6a-8a, 27a), suited to be immobilized by esterification with polyacrylic acid, are prepared.Their cathodic reduction potential Ep,c (1) correlates linearly with their substituent constant.The cathodic reduction of dioxygen and the palladium(II)-catalyzed anodic oxidation of alkenes are mediated by the benzoquinones 7b, 8b and 27b, respectively. - Key Words: Benzoquinones, substituted / Cyclic voltammetry / Cathodic dioxygen reduction, mediated / Anodic Wacker oxidation, mediated
