Abstract

Oxidation of pyridine N-oxide in the presence of cyclohexane was studied on platinum and carbon glass rotating disk electrodes using the method of cyclic voltammetry in 0.2 N LiClO4 in acetonitrile. It was hypothesized that the electrochemically generated N-oxide radical cation reacts with cyclohexane according to the mechanism of hydrogen atom cleavage.
