Abstract

Two hydroxyimides, N-hydroxysuccinimide and N-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide, showed chemically reversible redox responses in a sulfuric acid-acetonitrile mixture. In the mixed solution containing benzyl alcohol, catalytic oxidation of alcohol using N-oxyl radicals generated by the oxidation of hydroxyimide as a mediator was observed. The reaction between the mediator and alcohol was quantitatively evaluated from measurements by rotating disk electrode voltammetry.
