Abstract

Results Table I presents anodic peak potentials for alkyl isothiocyanates (la-lg), alkyl isocyanates (2a-2e), and two aromatic cyanato derivatives (ArNCO)(2f and 2g). Each of the anodic waves observed was found to be electrochemically irreversible. No reduction waves were observed in any voltammogram on reverse scans. Clearly, most RNCS derivatives afforded significantly lower oxidation potentials compared with those of the aliphatic ...
