The reaction of 2,3-diaminopyridine with the dimeric 4,5-dimethylcyclohexa-3,5-dien-1,2-dione gives 7,8-dimethylpyrido[2,3-b]quinoxaline, 1, in good yields; in the same way 3,4-diaminopyridine gives the 7,8-dimethylpyrido[3,4-b]quinoxaline 2. The electrochemical reduction of 1 and 2 in hydroorganic medium gives the 5,10-dihydro compounds 6 and 7; 1 and 2 present a single 2e− polarographic wave, in contrast to phenazine which shows two monoelectronic waves. The catalytic hydrogenation of 1 and 2 gives 6 and 7 and does not involve the pyridinic ring as in the case of pyridopyrazines. AlLiH4 does not react with 2 but 1 is reduced into the 1,2-dihydro derivative 8. The behavior of 1 and 2 is thus different from that of pyridopyrazines (which give the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro compounds) and from that of phenazine (which gives the 5,10-dihydro derivative). NaBH4 reacts with pyridopyrazines to give, according to the substituents, 1,2- or 5,6-dihydro or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives. Methylmagnesium chloride reacts with 1 to give a mixture of 2-methyl-1,2-dihydro, 2,6,7-trimethyl, and 4,6,7-trimethylpyrido[2,3-b]quinoxaline. In the case of 2, 4,6,7-trimethylpyrido[3,4-b]quinoxaline is obtained.

The structure of fluorindine is established by nmr as the 5,14-dihydroquinoxalino[2,3-b]phenazine. The catalytic hydrogenation of 2,3-di(p-methoxyphenyl)pyrazino[2,3-b]phenazine 2a leads to the 6,11-dihydro derivative 4a. The electrochemical reduction in an hydroorganic medium furnishes 4a and then the 1,4,6,11-tetrahydro derivative 8a. In dry DMSO the voltammogram shows four monoelectronic reversible systems corresponding to the successive formation of a radical anion, dianion, radical trianion, and tetraanion. Thus 2a appears as a new example of the very restricted class of compounds leading to tetraanions upon electrochemical reduction. The catalytic hydrogenation of 2,7-diphenylpyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline 1a or the reaction of LiAlH4 with 1,2,7,8-tetramethylpyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline 1b leads to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro compounds. The electrochemical reduction of 1a and 1b in hydroorganic medium leads successively to 1,4-dihydro and then to 1,4,6,9-tetrahydro compounds which undergo a further rearrangement. In dry DMSO 1a and 1b behave differently from 2a: one only observes two reversible monoelectronic systems.

A mechanism of the electrochemical reduction of β-(4-ethylbenzoyl)-α,β-dibromopropionic acid is suggested based on the results of classical polarography and polarography with Kalousek's switch and on the identification of the polarographically active intermediate products. The substance converts to β-4-ethylbenzoylacrylic acid on the electrochemical elimination of the bromine atoms, and the latter acid is reduced further to β-4-ethylbenzoylpropionic acid. The most negative polarographic wave corresponds to the reduction of the carbonyl group in the benzoyl part of the last acid.

The electrochemical reduction of as-triazines 3-one or -thione leads to a 1,4-dihydro derivative which rearranges into a 4,5-dihydro compound which is further reducible to an imidazolone or a tetrahydro as-triazine 3-one. In the case of simple as-triazine the 1,4-dihydro compound rearranges either to a 1,2- or to a 4,5-dihydro compound. This last derivative can be reduced to an imidazole or a tetrahydro as-triazine. The mechanisms are discussed.

<p>Understanding the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation at the local environment requires chemical and topographic information involving catalytic sites, active hydrogen species and their spatial distribution. Here, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) was employed to study the catalytic hydrogenation of chloro-nitrobenzenethiol on a well-defined Pd(sub-monolayer)/Au(111) bimetallic catalyst (<i>p</i><sub>H2</sub>=1.5 bar, 298 K), where the surface topography and chemical fingerprint information were simultaneously mapped with nanoscale resolution (≈10 nm). TERS imaging of the surface after catalytic hydrogenation confirms that the reaction occurs beyond the location of Pd sites. The results demonstrate that hydrogen spillover accelerates hydrogenation at the Au sites within 20 nm from the bimetallic Pd/Au boundary. Density functional theory was used to elucidate the thermodynamics of interfacial hydrogen transfer. We demonstrate that TERS as a powerful analytical tool provides a unique approach to spatially investigate the local structure-reactivity relationship in catalysis.</p>

<p>The analysis presented in this manuscript helps bridge an important fundamental discrepancy between the existing theoretical and experimental knowledge regarding the performance of Ag catalysts for CO<sub>2</sub> electrochemical reduction (CO<sub>2</sub>ER). The results demonstrate how the intermediate species *OCHO is formed readily en-route the HCOO<sup>– </sup>pathway and plays a decisive role in determining selectivity of a predominantly CO producing catalyst such as Ag. Our theoretical and experimental approach develops a better understanding of the nature of competition as well as the complex interactions between the reaction intermediates leading to CO, HCOO<sup>–</sup> and H<sub>2</sub> during CO<sub>2</sub>ER.</p><p><br></p><p>Details of computational and experimental methods are present in the Supporting Information provided. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
