Electrolytic cell comprising stainless steel anode and a process for preparing polychloropicolinate anions.

摘要

An important increase in the yield of 3,6-dichloropicolinic acid prepared by electrolytic reduction of tetrachloro-2-picolinic acid (in basic, aqueous solution, at a silver cathode) results when a stainless steel anode is used, rather than those (graphite, e.g.) taught in the prior art.
