The electrosynthesis of a wide range of alcohols from organic halides and ketones or aldehydes is achieved under simple and mild conditions in an undivided electrolytic cell using different sacrificial anodes.

Electrolysis of allyl chloride and five molar excess of acetone in hexamethylphosphoric triamide containing 0. 5 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate gave an addition product, 2-methyl-4-penten-2-ol, in a 53% yield. Allyl groups of 1-chloro-2-methyl-2-propene, 1-chloro-2-butene(3), 3-chloro-1-butene(4), 1-chloro-3-methyl-2-butene(5), and 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butene(6), and benzyl groups of benzyl chloride, benzyl bromide, and 1-chloro-1-phenylethane can similarly be added to acetone by electrolysis to give the corresponding alcohols in fair to good yields. Among these electrochemical reactions, those of 3, 4, 5 and 6 with acetone give respectively two isomeric homoallyl alcohols, one of the isomers is not accessible by the usual chemical reaction between allylic organometallics and acetone.
