Abstract

Abstract Cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential (bulk) electrolysis have been employed to investigate the direct electrochemical reduction of 2-chloro-N-methyl-N-phenylacetamide (1a), 2-chloro-N-ethyl-N-phenylacetamide (1b), and 2-chloro-N-phenylacetamide (1c) at carbon and silver cathodes, as well as the catalytic reduction of these compounds by electrogenerated nickel (I) salen, in dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 0.050 M ...
