✦ Synopsis
The electroreduction mechanism of +haIogen derivatives of organic compounds in proton donating solvents was investigated on the exampie of optically active 2-phenyl-2-chloropropionic acid. It was shcwn that the electroreduction occurs with inversion of configuration according to the SN2 mechanism.

In order to compare with recent accurate measurements, the carbon-hydrogen bond energy in formaldehyde has been calculated. Both electron correlation and extensively polarized basis sets are required to obtain satisfactory results. The most extensive computation predicts a CH bond energy of 85.4 kca
