Electrochemical Reactions of Organic Compounds in Liquid Ammonia Part Iv. Reduction of Cyclooctatetraene
نویسنده
چکیده
The electroreduction of COT in liquid ammonia at -38° and -65°C was investigated by cyclic voltammetric and controlled potential coulometric techniques. The results are interpreted by a two-step two-electron transfer reaction with strong ion-pairing of the COT dianion. Values for the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants and the equilibrium constant of the disproportionation of the radical anion are estimated, based on a digital simulation of the cyclic voltammogram.

Electrochemical reactions of organic compounds in liquid ammonia. I. Reduction of benzophenone
The electroreduction of benzophenone in liquid ammonia was studied by cyclic voltammetry. In anhydrous solutions, the reduction occurs in two reversible one-electron steps producing the anion radical and the dianion. In the presence of alcohol, the first reduction is unaffected and the second reduction wave becomes irreversible and is shifted toward positive potentials, following qualitatively ...

The electrochemical behavior of quinoline in anhydrous liquid ammonia was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. In the absence of added alkylating agent, quinoline is reduced in two steps to yield the radical anion and dianion both of which undergo further chemical reaction. The radical anion species dimerizes to form the dimeric dianion which is stable in the ...

The electrochemical behavior of nitrobenzene and nitrosobenzene in anhydrous liquid ammonia was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. In the absence of added protonating agents, nitrosobenzene and nitrobenzene are both reversibly reduced in two one-electron transfer steps to yield the stable radical anion and stable dianion species. In the presence of the weak ...

A method is described by which it is possible to determine the high barrier to ring inversion and hindered rotation by neat racemization of optically active compounds when the racemization is caused by ring inversion or hindered rotation. The method is based preparation of sufficiently pure enantiomers, mainly by chromatography on swollen microcrystalline triacetylcellulose (TAC). By this t...
