Abstract
Electrosynthesis can successfully be used for double bond hydrogenation in 3-(methoxyphenyl)propenoic acids. The corresponding 3-(methoxyphenyl)propanoic acids were produced in a virtually quantitative yield under the conditions of both electrocatalytic hydrogenation at the Ni cathode modified by electrodeposited dispersed nickel in a DMF-H2O mixture in the presence of AcOH and direct electroreduction using mercury and glassycarbon cathodes in DMF with Bu4NClO4 as the supporting electrolyte, although the mechanisms of these processes are different.
