Abstract: The intermediates of electroreduction of 3-hexyne-2,5-diol at platinized platinum electrode in perchlorate aqueous solutions with various pHvalues have been studied by using electrochemical ESRtechnique with the spin trap phenyl tert butyl nitrone. The six-line spectra in the three solutions with 1.5, 3.5 and 5.0 pHvalues could be ascribed to the form of the radicals, such as CH3C·HC——CCH2CH3 , in the process of producing 3-hexyne. The four-line spectra, increasing in their intensities with increase in pHvalues from 1.5 to 5.0, show that a 2-hydroxyalkyl radical CH3C·(OH)CH=CHCH(OH)CH3 is formed via the interaction between the atom Hand intermediates 3-hexene-2,5-diol and/or CH3C(=O)·CH-CHCH(OH)CH3.
