Electrochemical Reducion of OAminoacetophenone at Stainless Steel Cathode in Basic Aqueous Ethanol Medium: Investigating the synthesis of 1, 2-glycols through electrochemical reduction of OAminoacetophenone

Abstract

Electrochemical reduction of the O-aminoacetophenone was carried out at the controlledpotential in l M acetate buffer at pH 9 for the purpose of investigating this type of reduction as a possiblesynthetic procedure for the preparation of 1, 2-glycols. The products formed during electrolysis atconstant cathode potential are reported here.
