Abstract
It has been found in this study that electroreduction of aliphatic est er (1) with Mg electrode leads to the formation of the corresponding 1 ,2-diketone under aprotic conditions, whereas bis(trimethylsilyloxy)al kene is afforded through acyloin condensation when the reduction is ca rried out in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane.
