Electrochemical Oxidation of Aliphatic Carboxylates: Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Mechanism, and the Role of Hydrogen Bonding

Abstract The oxidation of tetra‐n‐butylammonium acetate, propionate, and pivalate was studied in rigorously anhydrous acetonitrile by conventional linear sweep and convolution voltammetry (LSV and ConV, respectively). The results suggest oxidation occurs via a concerted dissociative electron transfe...
