- ELECTROCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION OF N-NITROSODIALKYLAMINES INTO N-NITRAMINES AND β-KETONITROSAMINES
-
Controlled potential electrolysis, based on the results of cyclic voltammetry, of simple dialkylnitrosamines such as N-nitrosodibutylamine and N-nitrosodicyclohexylamine in acetonitrile at a glassy carbon electrode resulted in the formation of the corresponding nitramines as the major products together with β-ketonitrosamines in which the carbonyl group is on the same side of the nitroso-oxigen atom.With N-nitrosopiperidine, one derived from a cyclic amine, N-nitropiperidine was formed similarly but the β-oxidized nitrosamine was not detected in the electrolysis solution.In deoxygenated acetonitrile, neither the nitramines nor the β-ketonitrosamines were obtained from the electrolysis. - Keywords: N-nitrosamines; N-nitramines; β-ketonitrosamines; anodic oxidation; cyclic voltammetry; controlled potential electrolysis
