Electrochemical Study of Esculetin Nitration by Digital Simulation of Cyclic Voltammograms

The reaction of electrochemically generated o-quinones from oxidation of esculetin as Michael acceptor with nitrite ion as nucleophile has been studied using cyclic voltammetry. The reaction mechanism is believed to be EC, including oxidation of catechol moiety of esculetin followed by Michael addit...
