Hydrodimerization is an organic reaction that couples two alkenes to give a symmetrical hydrocarbon. The reaction is often implemented electrochemically; in that case the reaction is called electrodimerization. The reaction can also be induced with samarium diiodide, a one-electron reductant. Hydrodimerization is the basis of the Monsanto adiponitrile synthesis: :2 CH 2 =CHCN + 2 e − + 2 H + → NCCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CN : The reaction applies to a number electrophilic alkenes (Michael acceptors).
