, p. 2303 - 2306 (2007/10/02)
1-Nitroalkenes are reduced in high yields at -0.3 to -0.5 V (vs.SCE) at a mercury or graphite cathode to oximes.At higher cathodic reduction potentials (-1.1 V) primary amines are selectively obtained in fair yields.Nitroalkadienes are selectively reduced at the double bond conjugated with the nitro group to either the oxime or amine.Key Words: Electrochemistry / 1-Nitroalkenes, reduction of / Oximes / Amines
