The anodic conversion of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol in methanol, leading to 2,4,6-tris( l,l-dimethylethyl)-4-methoxy-2,5-cyclohexadien-l-one, has been followed by two types of 13C NMR experiments: (a) a static procedure, inserting the electrodes directly into a rotating NMR tube and (b) a continuous flow procedure, combining electrochemical and NMR flow cells. During electrolysis the resolution of the 13C NMR spectra decreased in the static procedure owing to magnetic field gradients. In the flow procedure the resolution was comparable with that of routine spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
