Abstract
This chapter considers the results received from enantioselective electrochemical reactions mainly from hydrogenations on metal (Pt, Ni), graphite, and Hg cathodes modified with chiral compounds (polyamino acids, alkaloids, and amino alcohols). Enantioselectivities of hydrogenation reactions were not effective, ee values did not exceed 50%, except in the cases of dehydrohalogenation and oxidation, from which optical yields reached above 90%.
