ketones, a one-pot conversion of the carbonyl compounds into alkanes and alkenes has been devised. The method involves prior electrolysis to alcohol or pinacol, addition of an oxalate ester, and further electrolysis for reductive de-oxygenation. Good results are obtained for aromatic ketones and aldehydes. Several oxalate esters have been used in such reactions; diethyloxalate is the most convenient. Esters
