Electron transfer behavior of 1,2-diphenyl-o-carborane was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). In the presence of 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane, a significant catalytic current was observed. The macroscale electrocatalytic reduction of the dibromide using a catalytic amount (1 mol%) of the carborane mediator afforded the desired trans-stilbene in excellent yield.
