Abstract

Results Prior to the preparative studies, current-potential measurements were carried out with triethylamine and a-diethylaminopropionitrile in 0.5 M sodium cyanide-aqueous methanol solution at a platinum anode. As shown in Figure 1, triethylamine initiated a discharge at approximately 0.7 V (SCE) and then the current rose steeply at 0.9 V or over, whereas a-diethylaminopropionitrile was oxidized at about 0.3 V more anodic than ...
