New Synthesis. Many attempts have been made to synthesize oxaUc acid by electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in either aqueous or nonaqueous electrolytes (53—57). For instance, oxaUc acid is prepared from CO2 as its Zn salt in an undivided ceU with Zn anodes and stainless steel cathodes ia acetonitrile containing (C4H2)4NC104 and current efficiency of >90% (53). Micropilot experiments and a process design were also made. 

The fusion of a benzene ring to pyrazine results in a considerable increase in the resistance to reduction and it is usually difficult to reduce quinoxalines beyond the tetrahydroquinoxa-line state (91). Two possible dihydroquinoxalines, viz. the 1,2- (92) and the 1,4- (93), are known, and 1,4-dihydroquinoxaline appears to be appreciably more stable than 1,4-dihydropyrazine (63JOC2488). Electrochemical reduction appears to follow a course anzdogous to the reduction of pyrazine, giving the 1,4-dihydro derivative which isomerizes to the 1,2- or 3,4-dihydroquinoxaline before subsequent reduction to 1,2,3,4-tetra-hydroquinoxaline (91). Quinoxaline itself is reduced directly to (91) with LiAlH4 and direct synthesis of (91) is also possible. Tetrahydroquinoxalines in which the benzenoid ring is reduced are well known but these are usually prepared from cyclohexane derivatives (Scheme 30).

Electrochemical methods may also be used in the synthesis of chalcogen-nitrogen compounds. For example, the electrochemical reduction of salts of the [SsNs]" cation (Section 5.3.9) in SO2 or CH2CI2 at low temperatures produces microcrystals of the superconducting polymer (SN). ... 

In 2009, Rauchfuss and coworkers succeeded in the synthesis of the Fe- i-H-Ni complex [(CO)3Fe(pdt)(p-H)Ni(dppe)]BF4 28 (pdt = 1,3-propanedithiolate, dppe = 1,2-C2H4(PPh2)2) as a model for [NiFeJ-hydrogenases (Scheme 64) [212]. The structure of 28 was characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis. This is the first example of an Fe-Ni thiolato hydride complex. Evolution of H2 by electrochemical reduction of CF3CO2H (pXa = 12.65) was observed in the presence of the catalytic amounts of 28. 

Great promise exists in the use of graphitic carbons in the electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide [reaction (15.21)] and in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to various organic products. Considering the diversity in structures and surface forms of carbonaceous materials, it is difficult to formulate generalizations as to the influence of their chemical and electron structure on the kinetics and mechanism of electrochemical reactions occurring at carbon electrodes.

However, more than stoichiometric use of the chromium salt was problematic, and the toxicity of the salt makes this versatile process inadequate for large-scale synthesis. Truly catalytic use of chromium was achieved in 1996 by using Mn powder as a co-reductant (Equation (20)). In another approach, electrochemical reduction of... 

Thus it has been shown that some metal-carbonyl compounds can be activated by electrochemical reduction generating reactive anionic species. Without going into details, it is worth pointing out that the synthesis of aldehydes can be obtained by electrolyzing a stoichiometric mixture of alkyl halides and ironpentacarbonyls (Eq. 17) [124, 125] ... 

Synthesis of Peptides by Hydrogenation of Dehydropeptides. In addition to the interest in dehydropeptides in their own right, these compounds are also used to prepare non-proteinogenic peptides by simple reduction. For example, the electrochemical reduction of dehydropeptides derived from 2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde has been described. ...
