Electrochemical reduction of cyclic diacyl peroxide (2,3-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane-1,4-dione or spirocyclopentylmalonyl peroxide) was explored using a smooth platinum anode/smooth gold cathode pair in an aqueous medium. This peroxide during the electrolysis was selectively reduced to cyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid in 85% yield, while any decarboxylation products were not even observed. Taking into account the data acquired previously by cyclic voltammetry, the conclusion was drawn about proceeding the reduction of peroxide via two successive one-electron steps of electron transfer.
