It is shown that, using Ni on graphite or vitreous carbon cathodes formed in situ in a catholyte containing Ni'+, it is possible to convert benzaldehyde and acztophenone to a mixture of the corresponding alcohol and hydrocarbon. The selectivity to alcohol can be quite good, ea 8: 1, and the current

✦ Synopsis
The electrodeposition of nickel onto vitreous carbon from acidic 90% C2 H s OH/10% H2 O containing tow Nit' concentrations is discussed. These unusual conditions have been selected to facilitate the design ofcathode surfaces which are active and reproducible for organic electrosynthesis . The objective is to deposit the catalyst in situ from the catholyte, hence producing it in its equilibrium state for the electrolysis conditions and also continuously renewing the surface.
