Abstract

Abstract The direct electrochemical oxidation of 4-t-butyltoluene at graphite electrodes in methanol, using NaClO4 as electrolyte, as been investigated in order to obtain an insight into the mechanism and kinetics of the anodic reactions taking place. It is shown that an increase in current density affects the product distribution, leading to a better yield of the target product 4-t-butylbenzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and a lower percentage of ...
