Abstract

Abstract: Electrochemical oxidation of a number of enol esters was carried out at a carbon rod anode in acetic acid. The products consisted of four types of compounds: conjugated enones, a-acetoxy carbonyl compounds, gem-diacetoxy compounds, and triacetoxy compounds. The product distribution was influenced by the structure of the starting compound. The oxidation of the enol ester prepared from a-alkylcycloalkanone gave the ...
