Several ketone N-phenylsemicarbazones were electrooxidized in the presence of potassium iodide and a base using methanol as the solvent to give nearly commensurate amounts of methyl N-phenylcarbamate and the corresponding dimethyl acetals. Continuous evolution of gaseous nitrogen was observed from the anolyte during the electrooxidation. The reactions were carried out under very mild reaction conditions and are presumed to proceed through a four-electron oxidation process, in which the iodide ion plays an important role as an electron carrier.
Structural modifications of the primary amino group of anticonvulsant aryl semicarbazones

A number of aryl semicarbazones had been shown previously to possess significant anticonvulsant properties. The principal objective of the present investigation was to determine the importance of the primary amino group in this series of compounds by replacing it with other substituents. The results indicate that the amino group was not essential for anticonvulsant activity. However its replacement by an aryl ring generally abolished activity while a terminal phenylamino function was better tolerated. Thus both the size of the group and its hydrogen bonding capabilities appear to influence bioactivity. Alteration of the oxygen atom of the semicarbazones by isosteres did not enhance anticonvulsant properties.
