Abstract
The electro-oxidation of water-immiscible liquid aliphatic acids (RCO2H) le
ading to decarboxylation to afford a hydrocarbon (R-R) may be achieved usin
g an emulsion formed via insonation so that the organic phase continuously
extracts the products; in complete contrast to conventional monophasic elec
trolyses, the type and yield of products obtained from this biphasic Kolbe
electrolysis are independent of the electrode material used.
