Abstract
By analyzing the kinetics of heterogeneous (electrode) and homogeneous reduction for benzyl phenyl ether it was found that toluene and pheno l are formed via the transfer of two electrons and the breaking of the PhO-Bz bond It was shown that electron transfer constitutes the slow stage in heterogeneous and homogeneous reduction. The homogeneous tran sfer coefficient was approximately 0.5, which represents a significant difference from the heterogeneous value.
