ELECTROLYTIC OXIDATION OF 2,6-DIMETHYL-3,5-BIS(ETHOXYCARBONYL)-1,2-DIHYDROPYRIDINES IN ACETONITRILE ON PLATINUM ELECTRODES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00514306

Free cation radicals, which subsequently undergo deprotonation to neutral radicals and disproportionation to give the starting molecules and pyridinium cations, are formed in the electrochemical oxidation of N-substituted 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,3-dihydropyridines on a rotating disk electrode with a ring in solution in acetonitrile.The primary cation radicals were identified by electrochemical generation in a cell placed in the resonator of an EPR spectrometer, and the hyperfine structures of corresponding EPR spectra were studied.
