Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour of indole and a group of indoleโcontaining compounds with a substituent at the C3 position, indolโ3โacetamide (IAM), tryptamine, gramine, indole acetic acid (IAA), indole propionic acid (IPA), indole butyric acid (IBA) and tryptophan, was investigated at a glassy carbon electrode, in order to determine their oxidation pathways. Indole undergoes one irreversible pH dependent oxidation, whereas the oxidation process of indole derivatives was more complex, a two step, the oxidation at C2 position on the pyrrole ring followed by the hydroxylation at the C7 position of the benzene moiety of indoles, irreversible pH dependent oxidation.

Multisulfur heterocyclic compounds are often readily reduced and oxidized in contrast to the behavior of typical hydrocarbons. Usually the electrode processes are more complex than simple generation of a radical ion species. However, relatively few studies have been made to characterize the anodic a
The electrochemical oxidation and reduction of 11 Spiro compounds have been investigated in ACN and DMF. The reversible voltammograms were obtained only for nitro and Cl substituted Spiro compounds for reduction and oxidation, respectively. Oxidation potentials are more sensitive to the structural d
