To know more understanding on the parameters effecting electrocopolymerization of aniline, a theoretical study of electrochemical behaviour had been performed through cyclic voltammetry at the platinum electrode through controlled potential electrocopolymerization (CPE) in 0.01 M LiClO4 solution at a scan rate of 50 mV s-1. It is observed that parameters in the presence of additive (perchloric acid) and selective solvent-electrolyte pair parameters affect the morphology, stability and solubility of the copolymer matrix. The morphological structure analysis exhibits nano-structured polydispersity characterized by a scanning electron microscope. - Utilization of dissociation constant (pK<inf>a</inf>) value perspective of -CH acid in electrochemical synthesis of 4H-chromene and its derivatives

Asian Journal of Chemistry
Activation of acidic-H in C-H chemistry through imposition of proper electrode potential is a matter of concern among synthetic research community. In this study, our main aim is to get deeper insight into the dissociation constant (pKa) value perspective of -CH acid and its utilization in electro-catalytic transformation. Herein, a platinum cathode was being used to attract a covalently bonded electrons that exist between C and active-H of CH-acid (dimedone) toward itself i.e. cathodic part to form acidic-H and thus, form in-situ tautomeric enol form that acts as electro-generated base. Utilization of this notability has been accomplished by electrochemical synthesis of 4H-chromene and its derivatives by performing cathodic reduction. Due to acidic property of dimedone, cathodic platinum electrode draw the potential switched to lower side that is being recorded through the potential-cum-galvanostat which facilitates the faster transfer of electrons from -CH acid to form enolate ion of dimedone that act as electro-generated base for the reaction media which simultaneously undergoes cascade reaction (Michael addition/cyclization) on activated alkene (α-cyanocinnamonitrile derivatives). This approach offers several advantages such as good yield, mild reaction condition, easy accessible, simple work-up procedure and controlled potential selectivity at cathode. Use of no base is pivotal section of this methodology. Electro-generated base is used instead of chemical toxic bases, so the present protocol is green as electrons that acts as intrinsically sole reagent for the reaction media which is renewable, hence sustainable for the safe future. - Electro-organic Mediated Synthesis of bis-1,3,4-Oxadiazoles and Evaluation of Their Antifungal Activity

The electrochemical oxidation of aldehyde-N-aroylhydrazone has been studied in the presence of NaClO4 as supporting electrolyte in MeOH solution using cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis. The results indicate that intramolecular cyclization of aldehyde-N-aroylhydrazone has been successfully performed at a platinum electrode in an undivided cell with good yields of the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles at ambient conditions. The reaction products were characterized by spectroscopic methods and a mechanism was deduced from voltammetry studies. The antifungal activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated on Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria solani, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The results revealed that all the synthesized compounds have significant antifungal activity against the tested fungi. Among the synthesized derivatives 7b, 7d, 7g, 7h, 7i, 7j and 7r were found to be the most effective antifungal compounds. - Electrochemical assisted synthesis and characterization of perchloric acid-doped aniline-functionalized copolymers

AbstractA novel, efficient, and ecocompatible electro copolymerization of anilines at platinum electrode using acetonitrile as non‐aqueous solvent and lithiumperchlorate as supporting electrolyte was carried and described here. The progress and mechanistic study of copolymerization was done using cyclic voltammetry. The reaction proceeded smoothly and quantitatively at ambient temperature. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
