Abstract

A novel method of converting aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alcohols based on selective indirective electroreduction was found, in which EtOH was used as a support electrolyte and Al(OC₂H₅)₃ as intermedia that was produced on spot reduction by electrolysis. The reaction took place in a cell with two Al electrodes.
