General description

Electrochemical reduction of 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride catalyzed by Co(salen) (H2salen, N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-ethane-1,2-diamine) in acetonitrile is reported.

Application

4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride may be used in the synthesis of novel series of dithiocarbamates, via reaction with sodium salts of N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamic acids.
