CATHODIC SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS OF 1,1,2,2-CYCLOALKANETETRACARBOXYLIC ACIDS DERIVED FROM 1,1,2,2-ETHANE- OR ETHYLENECARBOXYLATE ESTERS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00863943

The cathodic electrolysis of esters of 1,1,2,2-ethane- or ethylenetetracarboxylic acids in the presence of dihaloalkanes leads to esters of 1,1,2,2-cycloalkanetetracarboxylic acids. Keywords: acyclic compounds, esters, alkyl bromides, electrochemical synthesis, electrolytic reduction.
