Conclusions
-
1.
The synthesis of 3-formyl-2-acetothienone was described.
-
2.
The first wave on the polarograms of 5-formyl-2-acetothienone in moderately acid media corresponds to reversible transfer of two electrons and two protons — one of each to each of the carbonyl groups.
-
3.
In the transition to strongly acid or alkaline solutions, as a result of the change in the proton donor properties of the solution, successive reduction of both carbonyl groups is observed.
-
4.
3-Formyl-2-acetothienone is reduced on a dropping mercury electrode analogously to 5-formyl-2-acetothienone.
