The redox potential (ΔE1/2), electron affinity (EA), ionization potential (IP), coulomb repulsion integral (J12), and electronic transition energy (ECT) of several oxazolone derivatives in DMF were computed. A linear correlation was shown to exist between ΔE1/2andECT•The polarographic reduction was investigated in ethanolic-Theil buffer solutions. At pH ≤ 7.2, two waves were obtained representing the uptake of 2- and 4-electron steps respectively. In alkaline media, a third wave appeared seemingly a result of the hydrolysis of oxazolones. The rate of hydrolysis was determined and the electrode mechanism was elucidated and confirmed via spectrophotometric and coulometric analysis.Keywords: oxazolones, polarography, electrochemistry, electrode reaction, spectrophotometry, redox potential.
