This two-volume book presents everything you need to know about modern electroorganic reduction methods, covering all important organic substance classes, such as aldehydes, olefins, aromatic and halogenated compounds. Besides a plethora of modern reaction methods, it also treats such other important aspects as product selectivity, types of electrolysis cells and effects of additives. With its clear structure and its focus on synthetic methods, this is a source of high quality information for every chemist working in this field.

"The strength of the book lies in the presentation of reactions and their diversity, rather than mechanistic discussions. Another strength is the extensive coverage of Japanese and Chinese literature, which contributes greatly to many aspects of the topic and is generally not easily accessible. The book can be strongly recommended to everybody in academia and industry who wants to apply and evaluate reductive methods in synthesis, and thereby to use the advantages of electrolytic reactions." - Angewandte Chemie
"The set and the earlier companion volume on electro-oxidations [VCH and Kodansha, 1985] are highly recommended for both practitioners of organic electrochemistry and nonexperts contemplating carrying out an electrosynthesis for the first time." - Journal of the American Chemical Society
