The data on electrosyntheses occurring in absolute aliphatic alcohols, incl
uding those involving alcohol molecules, are systematized. Syntheses of alc
oholates and phosphoric acid esters, carbonylation, alkoxylation, and elect
rolyses of ketones and C-H acids in alcohol media are classified with these
reactions. Mechanisms of the electrode reactions and their applications ar
e discussed. Ninety references are included.
