| Abstract: | The electrochemical reduction of benzyl and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl chlorides catalysed by Co(salen) (H2salen, N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-ethane-1,2-diamine) was studied in acetonitrile. Electrogenerated (Co1(salen))? reacts with the halide to give an organocobalt(III) complex. Further one-electron reduction of the latter yields an unstable intermediate that undergoes rapid decomposition by cleavage of the Co | |
