Abstract
AbstractThe electrochemical reduction of benzophenone (BP) to its primary radical anion BP− with coupled homogeneous chemical reactions was investigated in N,N‐dimethylformamide. Protonation of BP− with benzoic acid and with o‐cresol, respectively, used as proton donors, and disproportionation of BP− in the presence of excess Li+ ions were studied by DLI technique. Rate constants for protonation and disproportionation as well as equilibrium constants for ion association were evaluated. Possible reaction pathways, and the effect of ion association on the kinetic behaviour are discussed.
