Abstract
Abstract The electrochemical reduction of acetophenone in DMF in the presence of α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins is examined. Three head-to-tail dimers are isolated and their structures determined. Two of them are identical to those obtained in an aqueous basic medium, the third results from an aromatization reaction. Asymmetric induction is observed but leads to optical rotations different to those obtained when electrolyses are performed in aqueous medium.
