Abstract

Electrochemical reduction of ethyl-2-arylhydrazono-3-phenyl-propano- ate-l,3-dione and l,5-diphenyl-3-benzoylformazan was studied at d.m.e. and G.C. electrodes. Ethyi-2-arylhydrazono-3-phenylpropanoate-l,3-dione gave one, four electron, diffusion-controlled, irreversible wave, whereas l,5-diphenyl-3- benzoylformazan gave two reduction waves corresponding to the reduction of azo and hydrazono groups. Products of controlled potential electrolysis were successfully identified and a mechanism postulated. The effect of ionic-strength and solvent composition for the reduction of hydrazono group is also reported.
