Abstract

Abstract : A zigzag-type quinone plays an important role in the reduction of nitrobenzene even in the co-existence of other functional groups. Abstract : A zigzag-type quinone performs better than an armchair-type quinone in the reduction of nitrobenzene. When different kinds of functionalities co-exist, the reaction is dominated by the most active sites, but the most negative sites should also be taken into consideration if the acitive sites have zigzag structures.
