T. Inokuchi et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL WACKER TYPE REACTION WITH A DOUBLE MEDIATORY SYSTEM CONSISTING OF PALLADIUM COMPLEX AND TRI(4-BROMOPHENYL)AMINE, Chemistry Letters, (1), 1994, pp. 121-124
The electrochemical Wacker type oxidation of terminal olefins by using
palladium chloride or palladium acetate and tri(4-bromophenyl)amine a
s a recyclable mediator in either a divided cell or an undivided cell
afforded the corressponding methyl ketones in good yields.
