Popis: |
The compound 5,10-dihydro-5,10-dimethylphenazine (DMPZ) exhibits two succesive reversible, 1-electron oxidation-reduction steps in acetonitrile and propylene carbonate as solvents. This system has been tested by most of the known diagnostic criteria of electrochemical reversibility and found to adhere to all of them unambiguously. This model system provides a reference for comparison of other multi-stage electrochemical processes. When DMPZ is oxidized in solvents or additives which are strong nucleophiles demethylation accompanies the second stage of oxidation. Since this chemical follow-up reaction occurs in aqueous media it is of significance in the biological redox reactions of N-alkylated phenazines. |
