Abstract

Electrochemical reduction of 4-thienylquinazoline (4-TQ) at the dropping mercury electrode in dimethylformamide solutions containing 0.1 M tetrabutyl ammonium iodide supporting electrolyte gave two well-defined diffusion-controlled waves. The first wave was found to be quasi-reversible and the second irreversible, on the basis of the usual criteria. The controlled potential electrolysis experiments carried out at the limiting regions of the frist and the total waves of 4-TQ yielded the same number of electrons, namely two, in both cases. Mechanisms corresponding to the total wave and the first wave were proposed based on the results obtained.
