Electrochemical hydrogenation of citral 4. * Role of the acid component in electrochemical hydrogenation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02495395

The effect of the nature and concentration of the acid component on the yield and ratio of the products of electrocatalytic hydrogenation of citral was studied. The use of weak organic acids (e.g., AcOH) in amounts that are stoichiometric for hydrogenation of conjugated double bonds was shown to be advantageous.
