Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour of a series of 2-(alpha-arylhydrazono)cy anomethyl-1, 3-benzothiazoles (1a-e) has been studied in aqueous media at the dropping mercury electrode (DME) and hanging mercury dropping electrode (HMDE). Controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) indicates th at the main product of electroreduction is alpha, beta-bis(1, 2-dihydr obenzothiazol-2-yl)succinic acid (7) formed by consecutive and simulta neous electrochemical processes involving hydrazono reduction, hydroly sis, amino cleavage and dimerization of an activated olefinic bond. A plausible mechanism has been suggested and discussed.
