EFFECT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS ON ELECTROCHE MICALLY ACTIVATED INSERTIONOF CARBON-DIOXIDE IN ACYLCHLORIDES

The influence of electronic structure of reactants, the nature of supp orting electrolyte, electrode's material, etc., on the processes of el ectrochemical carboxylation of acylchlorides (CH3COCl, p-X-C6H4COCl, w here X = CH3, H, NO2) on the yield of the corresponding alpha-oxoacids has been studied. It has been shown that the factors leading to accel eration of the cathodic reduction of acylchlorides or stabilization of the electrosynthesis intermediates and products, result in increasing oxoacid yields.
