Abstract: 

Electrochemical oxidation of methoxy substituted aniline (toluidine) has been done on both gold and platinum electrode cyclic voltametrically. The results were compared in different supporting electrolytes such as KCl, KNO3 , H2SO4 , HCl, etc. Effect of pH was observed on electrochemical oxidation of o- , m- & p- toluidine at gold and platinum electrode. During various scan single oxidation peak during first forward scan with no corresponding cathodic peak obtained while a new anodic cathodic couple peak appears in subsequent scan obtained. Kinetic parameters like heterogeneous rate constant, transfer co- efficient and diffusion co-efficient were also calculated. Micro quantities of toluidine by linear sweep voltammetry and hydrodynamic voltammetry were also determined.
