Abstract: As a continuation of our ongoing project on electrochemical properties of push-pull 5-substituted 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines (1a) differing in substituent R at C5-position and electron withdrawing group (EWG), we nave investigated the electrochemical behaviour of (5-etoxycarbonylmethylidene-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)-N-phenylethanamide 1a (R: =CHCO2Et; EWG: CONHPh), consisting as a (2E,5Z)/(2Z,5Z) mixture, by cyclic voltammetry in polar as well as non-polar solvent (0.1 M TBAHFP in DMSO and CHCl3, respectively). Cyclic voltammetry at stat...
