Abstract
In the presence of CrIII a variety of carbonyl compounds, including polyene compounds such as β-ionone and retinal, are electro-reduced smoothly to pinacols under chemically mild conditions and at relatively low potentials; a mechanism involving reduction of a complex between CrIII and the carbonyl compound is proposed.Keywords
