Some new sulfonamide derivatives were synthesized in aqueous solutions via anodic oxidation of 2,5-diethoxy-4-morpholinoaniline in the presence of arylsulfinic acids using a commercial carbon anode. In addition, the formation mechanism of the products was discussed. The obtained data show that the electrogenerated quinone diimine undergoes a Michael-type addition reaction with arylsulfinic acids to yield the respective sulfonamide derivatives.
