Abstract

In an undivided cell fitted with a sacrifical anode and a nickel cathode on which cadmium had been deposited, the electroreduction of aromatic halides affords a strong base which allows the effective synthesis of β-oxo nitriles or β-oxo esters from the coupling of active- hydrogen compounds with esters.
