Abstract

Abstract: It is possible to determine the relative concentrations of nucleophiles at the electrode from products of electrolysis using competitive reactions. The electrochemical oxidation of 1, 4-dimethoxybenzene (1, 4-DMB) in NaCN-CH3OH solution affords three primary products, as well as a secondary methanolysis product. The current efficiencies of two products (1 and 2) are highly potential dependent, while the current efficiency of the ...
