Abstract

The analysis of the polarographic, voltammetric and coulometric results shows that the overall reduction mechanism of benzamide occurs with the cleavage of the CN bond. However, the first step of the electrochemical process leads to the formation of a radical anion which undergoes protonation by another benzamide molecule in DMF and DMSO or by the solvent in CH 3CN and C 2H 5OH. Theoretical calculations have been performed to clarify the mechanism. Halobenzamide reduction involves the Chalogen bond breaking as the first reduction step to give benzamide.
