What is the role of beta-nitrostyrene in the electrochemical coupling reactions?

Label:chem

Topic
Beta-nitrostyrene is a key starting material used in the electrochemical coupling reactions reported in a study. It is known for its high reactivity due to the conjugated nitro group and double bond, making it suitable for various organic synthesis applications.
Answer
Beta-nitrostyrene undergoes electrochemical reduction and dimerization under constant-current conditions, leading to the formation of 1,4-dinitro-2,3-diphenylbutane and related derivatives. A study explores its electrochemical behavior, optimization of reaction conditions, and the mechanism of its reduction and coupling.
