Electrochemical oxidation of 1-phenylpyrazolidin-3-ones. Part 2. 1-Aryl-4,4-dimethylpyrazolidin-3-ones
Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of 1-phenyl- and 1-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-4,4-dimethylpyrazolidin-3-one has been studied. Nucleophilic attack on a 3-oxopyrazolidin-5-yl cation appears to be a common route to all the products which have been characterised.
