160-165Electrochemical behaviour of 1-Ethyl-2-[4’-sulphonamoylphenyl] hydrazone-3-oxobutanoates (ESPHO) have been studies in the Britton-Robinson buffers of the 2.5-12.0 at dropping mercury electrode and glassy carbon electrode. This compound gives one four-electron wave corresponding to the reduction of hydrazono group at mercury electrode. On the basis of direct current polarographic, pulse polarographic, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis, IR, mass, and 1<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family: " times="" new="" roman";mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-ansi-language:="" en-in;mso-fareast-language:en-in;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa"="">H NMR spectral studied and product identification, a reaction mechanism is suggested to account for the reduction mechanism.
