Acetic Acid and Ethyl Acetate as Solvents for Electropolymerization Reactions, Considering 4-Methoxyphenol and Composition of Solvent Mixtures
Various organic compounds susceptible to anodic polymerization were selected to study the effects of two solvents: acetic acid and ethyl acetate. Phenol and most of its derivatives, as well as resorcinol and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, exhibited typical electrode deactivation similar to other solvent...

| description | Various organic compounds susceptible to anodic polymerization were selected to study the effects of two solvents: acetic acid and ethyl acetate. Phenol and most of its derivatives, as well as resorcinol and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, exhibited typical electrode deactivation similar to other solvents; however, a continuous decrease in peak currents was not observed for 4-tert-butylphenols or salicylic aldehyde. Similar behavior was noted for monomers unrelated to phenols. In general, peaks were observed only for certain compounds and not in the initial voltammogram. Significant differences between the two solvents were observed in the subsequent voltammetric curves for some monomers. Microelectrode studies using 4-methoxyphenol as a model compound revealed notable differences between acetic acid and ethyl acetate in terms of curve shapes and the onset potentials of the plateaus. Plateau currents were used to estimate the solvent composition, demonstrating relatively high sensitivity to the acetic acid content. |
