Abstract:Important aspects of the electrochemical reduction of 4-iodophenyl sulfonyl chloride are investigated in acetonitrile at a glassy carbon electrode. The first electron transfer follows a concerted process where the S-Cl chemical bond is cleaved upon injection of the first electron. An interesting autocatalytic mechanism is encountered and the 4-iodophenyl sulfonyl chloride is reduced both at the electrode and through homogeneous electron transfer from the resulting sulfinate anion. An electron transfer between … Show more
