Popis: The cathodic reduction of benzil has been carried out at a controlled potential on a mercury cathode in two different SSE (solvent-supporting-electrolyte) conditions: (a) acetone/lithium perchlorate in absence of electrophile where 2,3-diphenyl-5-methyl-furan and 1,2-diphenyl-2-hydroxy-1,4-pentanedione were obtained as main products and (b) dichloromethane/tetrabuthylammonium chloride with the addition of oxalyl chloride as electrophile, where a fast electron transfer took place.
