Cryoelectrochemistry: electrochemical reduction of 2(RS)-methyl 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-iodomethyl-2,5-dihydropyrrole-2-carboxylate

Cryoelectrochemisty utilising cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry has been applied giving an insight into an organic mechanism at low temperature allowing the number of electrons participating in the reaction to be deduced from potential step experiments without recourse to bulk chrono-coulometery while the low temperature allow otherwise voltammetry invisible molecules such as iodopentane to be studied.
