The electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of 2-cyclohexen-1-one in aque
ous methanol has been investigated under constant current at stainless
steel and pressed powder graphite electrodes and at electrodes made o
f electrodeposited nickel, copper and cobalt. High selectivity of the
carbon-carbon double bond hydrogenation was observed with electrodepos
ited nickel and copper electrodes. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Scie
