Popis: An exploratory study of the electrochemical reduction of benzyl bromides is performed on a preparative scale using a platinum electrode in acetonitrile in the presence of ammonium salts. This work shows that the presence of derivatives of betaine increases the yield of dimerization products at the expense of protonation products. These salts allow the reduction of benzyl bromides at more positive potentials.
