Electrochemical oxidation of trimipramine in the absence and presence of 1,3 dimethyl barbituric acid as a nucleophile in aqueous solution has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry electrolysis. Voltammetric studies of electro-oxidation of trimipramine were realized in a range of pH1.0 to 8.

Topiramate is an antiepileptic agent, which is structurally different from the other anticonvulsants. The drug has no UV-Vis absorption or emits fluorescence. Thus for its analysis using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with conventional UV or fluorescence detectors, the drug should be derivatized with a suitable reagent.

The results revealed that quinones derived from oxidation of hydroquinones and catechols participate in Michael addition reactions with 2. The formed adducts convert to the corresponding benzofuran derivatives via different mechanisms.

The electrochemical syntheses of 4a-d have been successfully performed in one-pot in ambient conditions and in an undivided cell using an environmentally friendly method with high atom economy.
