Indirect Electrochemical Reduction of Unsaturated Alcohols

Allyl alcohlol and some of its derivatives have been reduced electrochemically by a mercury electrode to unsaturated hydrocarbons in a strongly acidic medium containing iodide.During the reaction a shift of the double bond generally occurs.The reaction involves a transformation of the alcohol to an iodide, reaction of the iodide with mercury, protonation of the organomercury compound, and reduction of the mercuric salt to mercury.Benzyl alcohols are similarly reduced to hydrocarbons.

A variety of allylic halides were treated with Te2- (generated in situ) to afford coupled 1,5-dienes (average yield 78percent for 11 examples).Mechanistic studies establish that bisallylic tellurides are produced, and these decompose into allylic radicals which then dimerize.
