Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of a series of ethyl arylidenecyanoactat es (1a-e) in ethanolic aq. buffers has been investigated at DME and HM DE. Controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) of ethyl benzylidenecyanoa cetate 1a) shows that the main electrolysis product is 1-amino-2, 5-di carbethoxy-5-cyano-3, 4-diphenylcyclopent-1-ene obtained in a high yie ld (approximately 70%) through a Thorpe-Ziegler electrocyclization rea ction.
