Abstract

Abstract A novel chain reaction induced by cathodic reduction was found in the reaction system consisting of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and electrophiles such as aldehydes or vinyl acetate. The current efficiency of addition of trichloromethyl anion to electrophiles was extremely high. Synthesis of an analogue of ethyl chrysanthemate using this new reaction was also described.
