Abstract
The overall mechanism of the chemical step involved in the electrochemical oxidation of tertiary aromatic amines has been investigated by means of the quantum-chemical AM1 method. By using the parent compound aniline as a model it is found that, in good accord with previous electrochemical data, dimerization of two radical cations takes place before deprotonation, the dimerization step involving a higher energy barrier.
