Investigation of the Electrochemical behavior of 4-Morpholinoaniline in the presence of α-oxoketene N,N-acetals

The electrochemical oxidation of 4-Morpholinoaniline in the presence of α-oxoketene N,N-acetals was studied by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry on platinum electrode in ethanol/acetonitrile (1:4) as solvent. The results show a two-step oxidation and a two-step reduction in reverse scan as counterparts. Bulk electrolysis of 4-Morpholinoaniline in constant potential demonstrated a 2 electron oxidation process.Voltammetry and coulometry investigations of oxidation of 4-Morpholinoaniline in the presence of α-oxoketene N,N-acetals confirm attack of nucleophile to oxidized form of 4-Morpholinoaniline, to form a new product via an EC electrochemical mechanism.was performed in these solvents and the progress of the oxidation reaction as a function of time was monitored through cyclic voltammetry.
