Abstract
We carry out an analysis of the quantization of anomalous gauge theori es inside the Batalin-Vilkovisky scheme. Working on the chiral QCD2, w e show that by considering the group elements as dynamical variables o ne is able to construct a local solution, the Wess-Zumino term, for th e master equation. Thus the gauge independence of the generating funct ional is restored. Also, the BRST charge is built up showing that in t he extended space this operator recovers the nilpotency.
