Glassy carbon electrodes coated with LB(Langmuir-Blodgett)-films of a dimethyldioctadecylammonium salt were found to reduce selectively the hydroxyl groups of a-hydroxyaldehydes having reducible hydroxyl and formyl groups at the same carbon atoms. Similar selective reduction was also observed at an
