Abstract
Abstract The electrolytic reduction of 1-fluoro-2-arylvinyl phenyl sulphones in acetonitrile involves cleavage of carbon-sulphur and/or carbon-fluorine bonds, resulting in the formation of 1-fluoro-2-aryl-ethylenes and arylethylenes with a molar ratio of about 1:1. The coulometric n -values are about three electrons per molecule, in the presence of efficient proton donors such as phenol, acetic acid and benzoic acid, and at all the following electrodes: mercury, platinum, lead and glassy carbon. In the absence of proton donors, the yields of 1-fluoro-2-arylethylenes and arylethyelens are very low, the n -value be about 1.
