Abstract
Glycine reductone showed oxidation waves similar to those of L-ascorbic acid and. triose reductone, i.e. it showed one oxidation wave at pH less than 8 and two in more alkaline range. The half-wave potential at pH 6.0 was +0.05V (vs. SCE), and those in. 0.1 N NaOH were -0.39 and -0.24 V, respectively. The wave heights of those polarograms were diffusion controlled and proportional to the concentration of glycine reductone in all the pH range studied. Discussions are also made on the mechanism of the electrode oxidation of glycine reductone.
