| Popis: | The electrochemical reduction of acetonylacetone on a mercury cathode in aqueous hydrochloric acid medium has been studied. It has been shown that the electroactive species is the protonated form of acetonylacetone. The experimental results indicate -that the rate of electrochemical reduction is dependent upon the preceding chemical protonation step and/or adsorption of the electroactive species. The electrolysis at controlled potential (- 1.2 V vs. S. C. E .) yielded the following products : acetaldehyde; acetone, acetic acid, 2,5-hexanediol and 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran. Possible mechanistic routes leading to the formation of these products are discussed. |
