The electrolyticreduction of cinnamic acid at a Pb, a Hg, a Hg-Zn or a Pt-Pt cathode in acid solution was studied. It was found that the formation of bimolecular compounds depended on the nature of cathode materials and the condition of the reduction. It was confirmed that the γ-phenylpropyl alcohol could not be produced by the electrolyticreduction of cinnamic acid. It was found that the reduction
A highly reactive alkylrhodium complex was formed from Me2Zn and RhCl(PPh3)(3) and effectively catalyzed a Csp(3)-Csp(3) homocoupling reaction of benzyl halides. A Csp(3)-Csp(3) coupling reaction using Rh catalyst has not been reported up to now. The reaction proceeded under very mild conditions and gave the corresponding homocoupling products even if they had reactive substituents such as an uncovered formyl or hydroxymethyl group.
