Abstract
Cyclic voltammetry on a glassy carbon electrode was used for studies of electro-oxidations of several naphthalene derivatives. The number of electrons participating in the primary reaction at the electrode is derived using the modified Randles-Ševčik equation applied to a series of experimental data of peak current intensity vs. the potential rate. The mechanism of electro-oxidation of two natural products, juglone and lawsone, is discussed with respect to hydrogen bond formation.
