Abstract

The synthesis and electrolysis of a series of o-chloro-and o-bromo-phenyl-substituted acids with two to five carbon chain lengths have been studied. The main products, under the experimental conditions used, were the Kolbe dimers. A complete isolation and identification of all of the important by-products is recorded. Methanol and methanol-pyridine were the solvents for electrolysis. This work represents the first study of the behavior of aromatic ...
