contents <p>Quinones have a wide range of valuable properties and potential applications in medicinal chemistry, materials science,<br>optoelectronic devices, and batteries. Molecular redesign using different functional groups, like amines, can optimize their<br>properties and prevent undesired side reactions. However, the synthesis of aminoquinones can be particularly challenging at times,<br>and there is a need for simple and efficient routes to access these compounds without metal catalysts or halogenated starting<br>materials. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of a series of aminoquinones derived from<br>renewable sources, namely vanillin or 2-methoxyhydroquinone. We employ a series of primary and secondary amines, varying in<br>their electronic situation as well as steric demand. Depending on the type of starting material, either the desired aminoquinone or<br>the related Schiff-base adduct was obtained. The aminoquinones were further explored towards their stability at different pH<br>values. At extreme pH values, the deeply colored aminoquinones decompose, accompanied by decolorization of the solutions<br>within a few minutes (pH 14) or hours (pH 1). At intermediate pH values (3–8) the aminoquinones are stable upon storage in<br>solution, where they feature a quasi-reversible redox chemistry and fast, diffusion limited kinetics.</p>
