Abstract
Efficient carboxylation of various organic halides can be achieved by electroreduction in aprotic solvents under an atmosphere of carbon dioxide when the selected anodic reaction is the electrodissolution of a magnesium electrode. Successful scale-up from 30 ml atmospheric pressure laboratory cells to a 400 l pressurized pilot unit clearly demonstrates the technical feasibility of this new process for large-scale production of valuable carboxylic acids.
