ChemInform Abstract: ELECTROSYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED 5‐AMINOURACILS

Electroreduction of 6-amino-5-nitroso-1,3-dimethyluracil on polycrystalline platinum and nickel cathodes in acid aqueous solution

“…Dolgachev and Avrutskaya reported the polarographic and cyclic voltammetric behavior of ANDMU on a mercury electrode in acid aqueous solution, and an ECE (electron transfer, chemical reaction, electron transfer) mechanism was proposed [3][4][5]. However, industrial application of the toxic mercury electrode with high over-potential is impossible.…”

“…However, industrial application of the toxic mercury electrode with high over-potential is impossible. Dolgachev and Hu found that several noble metals or transient metals could serve as good cathodes in the electroreduction of ANDMU [4][5][6]. In this paper the electroreduction behavior of ANDMU on platinum and nickel cathodes, and the mechanism of its reduction, are discussed.…”
