Abstract

Results Oxidation of Secondary Alcohols to Ketones. Indirect electrooxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones has been attempted in a two-phase solution consisted of carbon tetrachloride and aqueous sodium chloride using platinum foil electrodes immersed in the upper aqueous phase in an undivided cell. For example, the electrolysis of 4-tert- butylcyclohexanol (1, 1.0 mmol) in a CC14 (5 mL)-saturated NaCl (buffered at pH 4 with ...
