Some aromatic 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, i.e. 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, acenaphthenequinone and benzil, and their corresponding N-phenyl monoimines, have been reduced, using dry acetonitrile as the solvent, in the presence of sodium cyanide as a reducing agent. Comparative potentiostatic preparative-scale electrolysis is described.
