【 摘 要 】

The present study was undertaken to elucidate the electrochemical reductionmechanisms of benzil derivatives using the techniques of polarography and controlledpotential electrolysis. Another objective of this study was to determine aquantitative relationship between reactivity and structure. The electrochemicalexperiments have been conducted in a 50% ethanol-water solvent over the pH range of 1.5 to 13.5. Potentiometric titrations and ultraviolet spectra wereobtained to help understand the ionization of hydroxy-substituted benzil derivativesand how the ionization affects the polarographic reductions. Benzoin andtwo benzoin derivatives were studied to help determine the reduction products.
