Electrosynthesis of a Bis-Ketenedithioacetal Disulphide Derivative From 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-4-Butyldithiocarboxylate-5-Pyrazolone Using a Glassy Carbon Electrode

Abstract

The electrooxidation of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-butyldithiocarboxylate-5-pyrazolone 1 has been studied in ethanol/water solution, using a glassy carbon electrode surface. The electrochemical and spectroscopic data are in agreement with a bis-ketenedithioacetal disulphide compound 2 as the only product of the reaction.
