Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation of 2H-imidazole N-oxides was studied using cyclic voltammetry and ESR spectroscopy. The formation of the 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-diphenyl-2H-imidazole 1,3-dioxide radical cation was noticed for the first time. The possibility of reaction between the 2H-imidazole N,N-dioxide radical cation and methanol including the detachment of a hydrogen atom from the MeOH methyl group was demonstrated.
