It was found that the peak of the hydroquinone oxidation potential in the presence of 4-amino-6-chlorobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide is shifted to more positive values compared to hydroquinone alone. Based on these results, the electrochemical synthesis of new disulfonamide substituted p-benzoquinone is proposed and carried out via electrochemical oxidation of hydroquinone in the presence of 4-amino-6-chlorobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide in the electrolytic cell. It has been concluded that hydroquinone is converted into disulfonamide substituted p-benzoquinone via an ECE mechanism. The successful electrochemical synthesis was conducted in the water/ethanol mixture under green conditions without any toxic reagents or solvents and with high atom economy %K Cyclic voltammetry %K electrochemical synthesis %K hydroquinone %K disulfonamide %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=309849
