Chemoselective electrochemical hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using methanol as a hydrogen source and a nail anode
Runsen Xu, Fang Wang, Mingming Yang, Xiaobin Lin, Yanzhong Zhen, Ziwei GaoA nail anode and CH 3 OH/CH 3 OD enable selective electrochemical reduction of CC/CC bonds in enones, affording saturated ketones and deuterated analogues with high efficiency and broad tolerance.
