Effect of reactor type on the yield of the reduction products 3a and 4^a.

Entry	Reactor type	Electrode distance/µm	Yield of 3a (%)b	Yield of 4 (%)b
1	batch	2 cm	45	25
2	flow	40 µm	77	20

^aExperimental conditions: cathode, GC plate; anode, Pt plate; electricity, 2.15 F mol⁻¹; current density, 12.7 mA cm⁻²; solvent, THF (10 mL each were used for batch and flow experiments.); substrate, 0.06 M benzylideneaniline (1) and 0.12 M 1,4-dibromobutane (2a); base added, 0.06 M DBU; supporting electrolyte, 0.14 M n-Bu₄N∙ClO₄; flow rate, 11 mL h⁻¹ (residence time, 3.9 s). ^bDetermined by HPLC.
