We have developed an electrolytic system based on the acid-base reaction between Amberlite IR-120 as a solid-supported acid and water. On the basis of the electrolytic system, electroreduction of activated olefins was carried out to provide the corresponding hydrogenation products in moderate to good yields. Furthermore, the spent Amberlite IR-120 was recyclable for many times by regeneration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
