Abstract
Acrylonitrile has been reductively coupled with acetone, styrene, 1,1‐di‐phenylethylene, benzophenone, and benzaldehyde. When the reduction is carried out at the cathode voltage required for the more difficultly rather than the more easily reduced partner (a) current efficiencies for the mixed products are increased, (b) couplings which otherwise fail can occur, (c) by‐product polymer formation may be suppressed, and (d) when either of two by‐product hydrodimers must be accepted, the more useful one may be chosen.
