The electrochemical reduction of 1-bromo-4-nitrobenzene at zinc electrodes in a room-temperature ionic liquid: a facile route for the formation of arylzinc compounds.
The electrochemical reduction of 1-bromo-4-nitrobenzene (p-BrC6H4NO2) at zinc microelectrodes in the [C4mPyrr][NTf2] ionic liquid was investigated via cyclic voltammetry. The reduction was found to occur via an EC type mechanism, where p-BrC6H4NO2 is first reduced by one electron, quasi-reversibly,...
