Abstract
Abstract The electrochemical behaviour of dihydroxyfumaric acid has been investigated by dc polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis, at Hg, in methanolic solutions. The cyclic voltammogram involves a two-electron wave corresponding to the oxidation of dihydroxyfumaric acid to diketosuccinic acid and two successive one-electron reduction waves due to deposition of the two hydrogen of the acid. The electroxidation of dihydroxyfumaric acid in methanol is an irreversible electrode reaction. The corresponding rate constant of the electrode process has been calculated.
