Electron transfer in the reduction of the acridinium cation with borohydride

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The reaction between the cyanoacridinium cation and sodium borohydride was studied by EPR spectroscopy and cyclical voltammetry. It is shown that the formation of a cyanoacridinyl radical precedes the formation of the reaction product, viz., N-methyl-9-cyano-9,10-dihydroacridine. It is concluded that the borohydride anion may be an electron-donor in this reaction.
