Studies in the polarographic and coulometric behaviour of aromatic nitro compounds—III. nitrosobenzene in ethanol, acetone and dioxan

Addition, Reduction, and Oxidation Reactions of Nitrosobenzene

“…The basic reduction pattern, involving reduction of nitrosobenzene to phenylhydroxylamine, which in acidic media can be further reduced to amine, has been observed also in buffered solutions containing between 10% and 70% ethanol, acetone, or dioxane. 207 The simplest information about the reduction process can be obtained when DME is used, as under conditions used in polarography the surface renewal prevents accumulation of electrolysis products at the electrode surface and their participation in homogenous chemical reactions. More complex processes occur when the electrolysis of nitrosobenzenes is carried out using electrodes with a larger surface area with limited surface regeneration.…”

Organic polarography

“…Nitroso Compounds. Nitrosobenzene (1154) and R2NNO, where R is different alkyl groups (122) was studied as a function of pH. Data were reported for an ac study of cupferron (5), for various F and CF3 containing nitroso derivatives (368), for a cv study of 4-nitrosopyridine 1-oxide (938), and for 2,4-dinitrosoresorcinol (991).…”

Electroanalysis and coulometric analysis

“…Studies on electrohydrodimerization (219), continue (dimethyl fumarate). Aromatic nitro compounds have been reduced in a variety of organic solvents and the products characterized (270,271) as have substituted nitronaphthalenes in aqueous media (114, 115). The reduction of 3-iminoindolenine derivatives has been shown to yield the 3-aminoindoles (11) and isatin-3-oxime has been similarly considered (10).…”
