Electrochemical dimerization of benzyl chloride on a powder cathode of silver, graphite or silver-graphite mixture
Year: 2013
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The main challenge in organic synthesis is the formation of new C-C bonds in order to construct more complex carbon skeletons in a defined arrangement. In contemporary electrochemical publications, such C-C couplings are still a minor subject. Herein we reported an application of a new electrochemical cell which uses graphite powder, silver powder or mix graphite/silver powder in the cathode cavity combined with an aqueous anolyte to promote the dimerization of benzyl chloride in good yield.
