Abstract
Summary The electrochemical oxidation of phenyldisulfide at a platinum electrode has been studied in acetonitrile with NaClO 4 and fluoroborate salts as supporting electrolytes. The cations initially generated are shown to react in different ways depending on the nature of the supporting electrolyte. With NaClO 4 , evidence of ClO 2 , Cl − and PhSO 3 Na was obtained. With fluoroborate salts it is suggested that cations electrochemically generated are involved in chemical reactions with themselves and the solvent.
