This study reports the electrohydrodimerization of pyruvic acid to 2,3-dimethyltartaric acid in sulphuric acid medium (0.5 M H2SO4) on a lead cathode. The main products detected were lactic acid and 2,3-dimethyltartaric acid. The selectivity towards the formation of 2,3-dimethyltartaric acid was studied vs. pyruvic acid concentration in sulphuric acid solution, at -1.1 V vs. MSE. The best selectivity of 2,3-dimethyltartaric acid reached 69% for an initial concentration of 1.7 M pyruvic acid. The yield of pyruvic acid was 84%.
