Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour of folic acid, 7,8-dihydrofolic acid, and tetrahydrofolic acid was studied with polarographic, coulometric and spectroscopic methods in the pH range between 1,8 and 11,9. From the experiments a mechanism is derived which contains the formation of radicals and dimers, and the proton catalyzed reductive and non reductive cleavage of the side chain.Keywords
