INFLUENCE OF THE EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE SELECTIVITY FOR THE ELECTROCARBOXYLATION OF CHLOROACETONITRILE TO CYANOACETIC ACID

2004

The electrocarboxylation of chloroacetonitrile (ClACN) to cyanoacetic acid in undivided cells equipped with sacrificial anodes was investigated both in a bench-scale electrochemical batch reactor and in a continuous batch recirculation reaction system equipped with a parallel-plate electrochemical cell. Selectivity and faradaic yields higher than 90% were obtained by working under anhydrous conditions with low halide concentrations and at more negative potentials. It was found that the instantaneous selectivity in the carboxylate compound depends mainly on the [CO 2 ]/[ClACN] ratio at high substrate concentration and is close to 100% for low ClACN concentration. These results were consisten…
