Abstract

Abstract: A study of the electrochemical behavior of 6-chloro-I-phenyl-I-hexyne at a mercury cathode in dimethylformamide containing 0.1 F tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate has been undertaken. Two polarographic waves are observed for this compound: the first wave is due to reduction of the carbon-carbon triple bond, whereas the second step results from si- multaneous reductions of the carbon-chlorine bond of the starting material and ...
