Abstract
Organic hydroxy compounds such as geraniol are prepared by electrochemical reduction of a corresponding substituted hydroxylamine, typically in a cell wherein the catholyte comprises a solvent and a protonating agent as well as the substituted hydoxy cycloamine and is separated from the anolyte by a membrane, the anolyte preferably containing an aqueous strong mineral acid.
