Abstract
Electrochemical Wittig reaction. Part I. Synthesis of gem-dichloroalke nes. Two-electron electrochemical reduction of trichloromethyl tris(di methylamino)phosphonium tetrafluoroborate led to dichloromethylene tri s(dimethylamino)phosphorane, which Nas reacted with an aromatic or ali phatic aldehyde, to give gem-dichloroalkenes in good yields. Generatio n and subsequent reaction of the ylide were achieved in acetonitrile s olvent, using a carbon-felt cathode and an inert anode.
