Y. Kashiwagi et al., ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION OF AMINES TO NITRILES ON A TEMPO-MODIFIED GRAPHITE FELT ELECTRODE (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-TETRAMETHYLPIPERIDIN-1-YLOXYL), Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 45(1), 1998, pp. 135-138
Preparative electrocatalytic oxidation of amines to nitriles was succe
ssfully achieved on a poly (acrylic acid)-coated graphite felt electro
de immobilizing 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yloxyl in high
selectivity (> 95%) and high current efficiency (> 92%).
