Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of aromatic or α,β ethylenic aromatic ketones in nonaqueous solvent (DMF) has been performed in the presence of EuCl3•6H2O. Ligand exchange between DMF and water molecules of the europium salt was first studied. A voltammetric study shows that complexation involving electrogenerated Eu(II) and ketone may occur at the electrode interface or in solution, leading respectively to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] stoichiometries. The stereochemistry of hydrodimerization products is studied.
