Electrochemical Reduction Behaviour of Benzophenones and Phenylhydrazones-A Comparative Account

Abstract

Electrochemical reduction behaviour of benzophenones and phenylhydrazones has been studied using the techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, a.c. polarography, d.c. polarography and differential pulse polarography. Similarities and differences between benzophenones and phenylhydrazones with respect to electrochemical reduction have been discussed. Kinetic parameters are also evaluated using the above techniques and discussed.
