Abstract

Results 1-Methylquinolinium Cation. The oxidation of the 1-methylquinolinium cation by ferricyanide ion is known to give l-methyl-2-quin01inone~*~ and was monitored at 420 nm under conditions in which the 1-methylquinolinium cation was present in large excess. These reactions were neither cleanly fit order nor second order in ferricyanide ion concentration. Addition of ferrocyanide ion caused a large decrease in the rate of ...
