The electroreductions of 1-methylindole and several benzofurans were investigated and compared with the corresponding alkali-metal/liquid ammonia reductions.The cathodic reductions were performed using a simple apparatus with aqueous THF as the solvent and were found to be regioselective.Over-reduction and other side reactions were avoided.The possible mechanism of the electroreductions is discussed.
