TL;DR: The electrochemical study of β-chlorovinylaldehydes was carried out in DMF in the presence of 0·1 M NBu4ClO4 as the supporting electrolyte as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The electrochemical study of β-chlorovinylaldehydes, namely, 4-chloro-3-formyl-2H (1)-benzopyran and β-chlorocinnamaldehyde was carried out in DMF in the presence of 0·1 M NBu4ClO4 as the supporting electrolyte. Both the depolarizers give three diffusionlimited polarographic waves and the corresponding cathodic peaks in cyclic voltammetry. Their microcoulometric data indicate a transfer of four-electrons (n app=4) in the electrode process. The macroscale controlled-potential electrolysis of the depolarizers afforded only blackish-brown tarry product. A mechanism is suggested for their reduction in DMF under polarographic conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of polarographische und elektrochemisch-praparative untersuchungen haben zu folgenden Ergebnissen gefuhrt.
Abstract: Kombinierte polarographische und elektrochemisch-praparative Untersuchungen haben zu folgenden Ergebnissen gefuhrt: 1 Aus der Hohe der polarographischen Stufe kann mit Zuverlassigkeit der Elektronenverbrauch pro Molekel abgeschatzt werden. 2 Bei in l,2-Stellung ungesattigten Ketonen ruft immer die Athylenbindung die erste Stufe im Polarogramm hervor. 3 Sowohl die Carbonyl- als auch die Athylenbindung werden in zwei einelektronischen Schritten reduziert, wobei als Zwischenprodukt ein Radikal entstehen muss. Ein moglicher Mechanismus fur den Reduktionsverlauf wurde dargestellt und diskutiert.

TL;DR: In this article, Cinnamaldehyde is reduced at the dropping mercury electrode in two main two-electron steps, in the first the CC double bond is reduced and in the second the aldehydic group.
Abstract: Cinnamaldehyde is reduced at the dropping mercury electrode in two main two-electron steps. In the first the CC double bond is reduced, in the second the aldehydic group. The rate of dehydration of 3-phenylpropionaldehyde governs the height of the more negative step. In acid media the first two-electron process is split into two one-electron steps. The radical formed in the first one-electron step can react with cations and the adduct formed gives a separate wave iN. In electrolyses with electrodes which do not have a periodically renewed surface (mercury pool and hanging mercury drop electrodes, single-sweep techniques) the radical formed undergoes further reactions and can eventually polymerize.
