Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.tet.2005.01.022

Cryoelectrochemisty with cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry has been applied to give an insight into a reductive pyrroline ring opening reaction, and has allowed the number of electrons participating in the reaction to be deduced from potential step experiments.
