Abstract

It is well known that the cathodic reduction of phenacyl bromides in aprotic media leads in very good yields to the formation of 2, 4-diarylfurans.'This occurs via the cleavage of the carbon-bromine bond, giving an anion2p3 that adds to the carbonyl group of another molecule of substrate adsorbed on the surface of the electrode (mercury pool). However this reaction is highly dependent on the substrate concentration in the reaction medium. At ...
