- Electrochemical Cyclodimerization of Alkylidenemalonates
-
Electrolysis of dimethyl alkylidenemalonates RCH=C(COOMe)2 (R=n-Alk, Ph) in an undivided cell in MeOH in the presence of alkali metal halide as mediator, leads to the formation of cyclic dimers, i.e., 3,4-disubstituted 1,1,2,2-cyclobutanetetracarboxylates.The reaction proceeds via the reductive coupling of two substrate molecules at cathode and the cyclization of a hydrodimer dianion by its interaction with an active form of a mediator, an anode-generated halogen.

- Electrochemical cyclodimerization of alkylidenemalonates into 3,4-disubstituted cyclobutane-1,1,2,2-tetracarboxylates
-
Alkylidenemalonates being electrolyzed in methanol in undivided cell with glassy carbon, carbon or lead cathode in the presence of sodium iodide or sodium bromide are transformed into 3,4-disubstituted cyclobutane-1,1,2,2-tetracarboxylates.
