Indirect cholesterol electrochemical oxidation in the presence of various mediators leads to electrophilic addition to the double bond, oxidation at the allylic position, oxidation of the hydroxy group, or functionalization of the side chain. Recent studies have proven that direct electrochemical oxidation of cholesterol is also possible and affords different products depending on the reaction ...

background: high concentration of salt makes biological treatment impossible due to bacterial plasmolysis. the present research studies the process of electrochemical oxidation efficiency and optimal levels as important factors affecting ph, salt concentration, reaction time and applied voltage. methods: the sample included graphite electrodes with specifications of 2.5 cm diameter and 15 cm he...

The fact that oxidation, as one of the main routes of phase I metabolism of drugs, follows by conjugation reactions, and also formation of nitrenium ion as one of the clozapine oxidation products, directed us to investigate the oxidation of clozapine (CLZ) in the presence of nucleophile. The oxidation of clozapine (CLZ) has been studied on a glassy carbon electrode in the absence and presence o...

Oxidation behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy with 3YSZ coating and aluminum interlayer was studied in air at 250 °C using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS, scanning electron microscopy SEM, and X-ray diffraction XRD. The oxidation process was carried out in various duration times from 1 to 10 h. A three-electrode electrochemical cell was employed for all the EIS measurements. Also, to ...

in the present paper, the use of a novel carbon paste electrode modified by 7,8-dihydroxy-3,3,6-trimethyl-3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-1(2h)-one (dtd) and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ocnts) is described for determination of levodopa (ld), acetaminophen (ac) and tryptophan (trp) by a simple and rapid method. at first, the electrochemical behavior of dtd is studied, then, the mediated...

An electroactive nitrospiropyran-substituted polyterthiophene, poly(2-(3,3''-dimethylindoline-6'-nitrobenzospiropyranyl)ethyl 4,4''-didecyloxy-2,2':5',2''-terthiophene-3'-acetate), has been synthesized for the first time. The spiropyran, incorporated into the polymer backbone by covalent attachment to the alkoxyterthiophene monomer units, leads to multiple colored states as a result of both pho...

Electrochemical oxidation of biologically-pretreated dye wastewater was performed in a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode system. After electrolysis of 12h, the COD was decreased from 532 to 99 mg L(-1) (<100 mg L(-1), the National Discharge Standard of China). More importantly, the destination of organic pollutants during electrochemical oxidation process was carefully investigated by molecular w...

A glassy carbon electrode modified with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) containing phenacetin recognition sites is introduced. The phenacetin-selective MIP was synthesised based on the electropolymerisation of pyrrole in a 1:1 (v/v) water/ethanol with HClO4 solution. The MIP-modified electrode showed higher recognition ability in comparison with a bare electrode for procaine and aminopyri...

a novel chemically modified electrode containing prussian blue complex was achieved on the surface of glass carbon electrode by sol-gel technique. the electrochemical behavior of modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in detail. the film electrode obtained was very stable and exhibited electrocatalytic response for oxidation of nitrite. results showed at bare gc electrode, a...
