Electrochemical reduction of 1,3-diketones in hydroorganic medium. Preparation of 1,2-cyclopropanediols

The electrochemical reduction of 1,3-diketones C 6 H 5 COCR 1 R 2 COR 3 (R 1  = H, CH 3 ; R 2  = CH 3 , CH 2 C 6 H 5 ; R 3  = CH 3 , C 6 H 5 ) in an hydroorganic medium corresponds to a bielectronic process and leads to 1,2-cyclopropanediols which, in most cases, are obtained in good yields. The pol...

Description
Summary:The electrochemical reduction of 1,3-diketones C 6 H 5 COCR 1 R 2 COR 3 (R 1  = H, CH 3 ; R 2  = CH 3 , CH 2 C 6 H 5 ; R 3  = CH 3 , C 6 H 5 ) in an hydroorganic medium corresponds to a bielectronic process and leads to 1,2-cyclopropanediols which, in most cases, are obtained in good yields. The polarographic results are presented and the mechanisms are discussed.
