LIQUID-PHASE ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION WITH PARTICULATE TRAPPING AGENT PRESENT

摘要

ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS AND PRODUCT A liquid-phase electrochemical synthesis is possible wherein a desired charged intermediate would normally be undesirably immediately electrolysed, by covalently trapping the charged-intermediate onto particles of a sulphonated polystyrene, filtering off the liquid, and regenerating the polystyrene in (say) alkali to release and hydrolyse the intermediate. Hexamethylbenzene may be electrolysed in acetonitrile to give, by this process, 1, 3-(2, 4, 5, 6-tetramethyl)-bisacetamido-methylbenzene.
