Reduction of benzene to cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane is studied in ethanol-HMPA and 2-propanol-HMPA solutions.The effect of hydrogen bonding of the alcohol-HMPA on the repression of hydrogen production via alcohol is reported.In addition, the degree and nature of the reduction process are investigated as a function of the nature and concentration of the alcohol, the hydrogen overvoltage of the electrode, and the current applied to the cell.Under suitable conditions, over 60percent of the benzene is reduced at a current of 240 mA with an overall current efficiency greater than 86percent.
