Abstract: | Classical polarography, cyclic voltammetry, and EPR spectroscopy was used to study electrochemical reduction and oxidation of 3-nitro derivatives of 2-methyl-4-phenylquinoline, the corresponding quinolinium perchlorates, and 1,2- and 1,4-dihydroquinolines. The nitro derivatives of quinoline and 1,2-dihydroquinoline are reduced in the first step at the nitro group; the quinolinium cations are reduced at the heterocycle followed by reduction of the nitro group; and in 1,4-dihydroquinolines, the nitro group is not reduced. Electrochemical reduction processes associated with electron transfer in the heterocycle mainly display the same behavior as established for pyridine derivatives. But important differences were observed in electrochemical oxidation: the N-methyl derivative of 1,4-dihydroquinoline is oxidized significantly more easily than the corresponding N-unsubstituted derivative of 1,4-dihydroquinoline (in the 1,4-dihydropyridine series, the difference in pot! enti als is fairly small), and even more easily than the corresponding N-methyl derivative of 1,2-dihydroquinoline. |
