Abstract

Abstract: Dimethylamino-substituted alkenes very readily undergo electrochemical oxidation, the multisubstituted examples being among the most easily oxidized neutral organic compounds known. Generally the initial oxidation products are the monocation radicals. Esr studies show that unpaired electrons polarize away from the dimethylamino groups in these species. Factors affecting the oxidation potentials of the aminoalkenes ...
