Abstract
The polarographic reduction of 1-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles in dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetonitrile was studied. 1-Methyl-, 1-ethyl-, and 1,2,4-triazoles are not reduced on a mercury electrode over the range of potentials accessible for polarography. 1-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazole and 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole are reduced in acetonitrile via a one-electron mechanism at high negative potentials. The reduction of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole is accompanied by polymerization of the electrolysis products. A possible mechanism for the electrochemical reduction is discussed.
