✦ Synopsis

We wish to report the general reduction of alkyl monochlorides at the vitreous (glassy) carbon electrode (GCE) , a process which has not been effected at the dropping mercury electrode (DME). 283

(Aromatic chlorides are also readily reduced at this carbon electrode.)

In view of the increasing interest in electrochemical techniques in organic synthesis,
