Abstract: | Reduction at the mercury electrode in aqueous solution of the unhydrated form of glyoxals exhibits evidence of a reversible system: RCOCHO + 2e + 2H+ ?har2; RC(OH)CHOH with RCH3 or C6H5.For the hydrated form C6H5COCH(OH)2, investigation indicated occurrence of two types of irreversible processes. In neutral media transfer of two electrons involve either the hydrogenolysis of the COH bond, yielding hydroxyacétophenone: C6H5COCH2OH, or alternatively the reduction of the keto grouping yielding mandelaldehyde: C6H5CHOHCHO.The COH cleavage is exclusive in acidic media and for aliphatic glyoxals RCOCH(OH)2. |
