Abstract

Abstract The half-wave potentials of polarographic reduction of the carbonyl group in unsubstituted and N-methyl-and N-phenylsulfonyl-substituted 1-and 4- oxotetrahydrocarbazoles and their reactivities in reactions with nucleophilic (NaBH 4, malonodinitrile, and cyanoacetamide) and electrophilic (DMF dimethyl acetal) reagents were compared. 4-Oxotetrahydrocarbazoles are much less reactive than 1- ...
