Electrochemistry of Anilines. II. Oxidation to Dications, Electrochemical and uv/vis Spectroelectrochemical Investigation

摘要

The electrochemical oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-R-anilines (R = C6H5, p-OCH3-C6H4 and p-N(CH3)2-C6H4) at the potentials of the second peak has been investigated. Dications could be observed and characterized by electroanalytical and spectroelectrochemical means. The cyclic voltammogram of the methoxy compound has been simulated by the orthogonal collocation method. Products of bulk electrolysis have been identified. Two different sites of attack in the case of the methoxy compound were found.
