Abstract
A study was made of the effect of tetra‐alkylammonium salts on the anodic oxidation of benzhydrol using potential pulse and galvanostatic pulse techniques. The results of the studies were in agreement with the interpretation that, in addition to solubilization effects, the primary cause of the increased yields is the formation of a film on the surface, which excludes side reactions with water. Potential pulse studies were in agreement with the previous conclusion that this film undergoes reorganization at a potential around −0.6V vs. SCE. The galvanostatic pulse studies showed that it requires a cathodic current pulse to destroy this film in a short time.
