COMPLEXES OF RHODIUM CARBONYLCHLORIDE AND PHOSPHORUS(III) CYANIDES INMEDIATED ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF 2-CARBOMETHOXY-2-METHYL-1,1-DICHLOROCYCLOPROPANE

Electrochemical reduction of the complexes Rh(CO)CIL(2) [GRAPHICS] and their catalytic properties in electrochemical reduction of 2-carbomet hoxy-2-methyl-1,1-dichlorocyclopropane were studied. The catalytic ele ctroreduction of a substrate at the reduction potentials of the centra l ion was developed for complexes 2-4. This process is accelerated sub stantially for complexes 2 and 3 in the presence of anthracene.
