Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone and dihydroisophorone has been studied at controlled potential and current density and it has been found that at relatively small cathodic potentials, in the presence of acetic acid, the equatorial (stable) and axial (less stable) alcohols are formed in approximately equal amounts.Keywords
