The kinetics of the anodic oxidation of ally! alcohol in acetonitrile has been studied. At a platinum electrode at low potentials, ~26 V, the reaction is charge transfer controlled and at higher potentials the process becomes diffusion controlled. The reaction is not a simple charge-transfer process

β¦ Synopsis
The electrochemical behaviour of diphenyldiselenide in acetonitrile solution was studied by several electrochemical techniques. Controlled potential electrolysis in the presence of cyclohexene was also studied. The cyclic sweep voltammogram exhibited two irreversible anodic peaks at 1.35 and 1.65 V and one cathodic peak at -1.25 V. It was concluded that the primary step is one-electron removal from the substrate, and the Se-Se bond cleavage follows to generate phenylselenium cation and phenylselenium radical, ofwhich the former species can react with cyclohexene to give mainly 2-acetamido-l-phenylselenosyclohexane. The possibility of utilizing phenylselenenic acid as the current mediator in the allylic hydroxylation reaction seems very limited. The cathodic reaction of diphenyldiselenide was also discussed briefly.
