Abstract

The oxidation of avarol and the reduction of avarone were studied at a Pt electrode in acetonitrile-tetraethyl-ammonium perchlorate media. The oxidation of avarol in acetonitrile takes place by formation of a two electron oxidation product, presumably the »protonated avarone«. The reduction of avarone takes place in two steps by formation of the stable radical anion which is reduced to the dianion at amore negative potential.
