Electrochemical studies of methyl-3-benzoyl indolizine carboxylates

Indolizine derivatives have been used in medicine and pharmacology due to their biological activity and therapeutical effects. Their capacity to form surface films and to be used as sensors in modern technologies makes them interesting to be studied. This work is devoted to the study of methyl-3-benzoyl indolizine carboxylates by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). It is pursued the influence of concentration on CV and DPV curves and that of the scanning domain and rate on the CV curves. The CV and DPV results are in good agreement. There are established the number and characteristics of the redox processes for each compound. The common features and differences between their electrochemical behaviour were analyzed.
