Electrode materials can have a significant impact on the course of an electrolysis reaction. Of particular interest is that different electrodes can generate different products from the same substrate. The electrode-material-selective transformations of styrene derivatives with molecular oxygen are reported. Platinum electrodes afford carbonyl products via cleavage of olefins, whereas tetrahydrofuran formation is achieved with carbon electrodes. A variety of different styrenes are available for both reactions. Electrolysis allows straightforward and mild chemical conversions that are metal- and oxidant-free. Electrochemical measurements illuminate the different effects of platinum and carbon electrodes on styrenes. The key to the differing reactions is probably that the oxidation potentials of the substrates are lower (higher HOMO energy) on carbon electrodes than on platinum electrodes. The adsorption of the substrates on carbon electrodes can also promote tetrahydrofuran formation.

An in vitro assay for selecting compounds that alter pigmentation of skin is provided. Also, a novel class of pro-pigmentatory compounds is provided which comprise substituted aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acids, or derivatives thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which do not contain a pheno, naphthol, thiophenol, or a thionaphthol function in free or protected form. In a preferred embodiment, thess compounds will display activity for RXRs. These compounds may be used for altering pigmentation of human skin and/or hair in cosmetic or dermatological compositions, and for the treatment of disorders and disease conditions that affect skin or hair pigmentation.
