Abstract

Abstract The electroreduction of benzyl chloride and related compounds in the presence of acid chlorides gave alkyl benzyl ketones in moderate yields. The controlled potential electrolysis suggests that the electron transfer from the cathode to benzyl chloride yielding an anionic species is the initiation step of this reductive acylation.
