The electrochemical oxidation of 4-methylcatechol ( 1a ), 4- tert -butylcatechol ( 1b ), and 3-methylcatechol ( 5 ) has been studied in the presence of 1,3-cyclopentadiene ( 3 ) in an ethanol/water (60:40 v/v) mixture using cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential coulometry, and preparative electrolysis. The electrochemically generated benzoquinones took part, as dienophiles, in a Diels-Alder reaction with  3  to form methanotetrahydronaphtoquinones through an  EC  mechanism. The cycloaddition of 3-methyl- o -benzoquinone  (5a)  to  3  is highly regioselective, affording product  6 , a novel regioisomer. It is proposed that the cycloaddition would occur with the benzoquinones adsorbed on the carbon electrode surface. The controlled potential electrolyses were carried out in a one-compartment cell.
