Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A study of the polarographic behavior of methylnltrolic, ethylnitrolic, and cyanomethylnitrolic acids has shown that: a) reduction is a two-step process in solutions with low proton-donor capacity, the first of these steps corresponding to reversible one-electron transfer; b) the first step in reduction in acidic solution involves a four-electron transfer with the formation of a nitrolic acid oxime.

  2. 2.

    A mechanism for nitrolic acid reduction, applicable in both acid and alkaline solutions, has been proposed.
