Abstract:Reduction of n‐C5H11N3 by Na2S2O4 was performed in the presence of (n‐Bu4N)3 [Mo2Fe6S8(OMe)3(SC6H4‐p‐n‐C8H17)6] ((n‐Bu4N)3 [Mo‐Fe]) as a catalyst in aqueous Triton X‐100 micellar solutions. The rate of the reduction is enhanced efficiently by the addition of methyl viologen (MV2+). The methyl viologen radical cation (MV+) produced by the reaction of MV2+ with Na2S2O4 undergoes a disproportionation reaction to afford MV2+ and MV° in the micellar solution. The resultant MV° formed in the micelle transfers two el… Show more
