Abstract
The electrolytic reductions of N,N‐dimethylvaleramide to N,N‐dimethylamylamine and of acetanilide to ethylaniline in sulfuric acid solutions were studied at cathodes of cadmium, tin, lead, mercury, zinc, aluminum, bismuth, copper, nickel, iron, and cobalt. The best yields of N,N‐dimethylamylamine were obtained at a lead cathode. Cadmium and zinc showed some activity. The best yield of ethylaniline was, again, obtained at a lead cathode. The only other active cathode was cadmium. The influence of the physical condition of the surface of the cathode is discussed.
