Electrocatalytic Activity of Vitamin D in the Present N-Hydroxy-N-Phenylacetamide as Electrocatalist

Electrocatalytic activities and mechanism of vitamin D in the present N-hydroxy-N-phenylacetamide as electrocatalist have been studied by cyclic voltamettry. We performed a complementary study of the electrocatalytic performances of N-hydroxy-N-phenylacetamide using voltammetry as a versatile and informative technique. N-hydroxy-N-phenylacetamide exhibited a good and well-defined electrocatalytic activity in aqueous solution. Investigations of the efficacy of the reaction conditions revealed that the catalytic performance is greatly affected by the pH of the solution—and that there is a fundamental difference in reactivity between these apparently similar systems. New kinetic data were obtained by means of voltammetric analyses and digital simulations of the cyclic voltammograms [1-5].
