Abstract

The electrochemical reduction of allyl chloride is strongly catalyzed in the presence of cobalt complexes of 2,2′-bipyridine. A prominent reaction product of the catalyzed reduction is 1,5-hexadiene. Voltammetry, coulometry, and gas chromatographic data are presented and analyzed and a mechanistic scheme proposed to account for the catalytic action of the cobalt-2,2′-bipyridine complexes.
