Sacrificial Anodes in the Electrocarboxylation of Organic Chlorides

Electrochemical carboxylation of benzal chloride

Abstract The clectrocarboxylation of benzal chloride to -chlorophenylacetic and phenylmalonic acids is realized in diaphragmless cells with aluminium sacrificial anodes. Yields respectively up to 50% and 30% can be obtained. Phenylacetic acid is always present among the products.
