Electrochemical synthesis of unsymmetric ketones and some related coupling reactions
Abstract
Halogen can be abstracted electrochemically from organic compounds by reaction with anodic cadmium metal; with a mixture of R1COX and R2X the products is the unsymmetric ketone R1COR2, and hydrocarbons (R12) and ditin species R13SnSnR13 have also been prepared in this way.
