A photoelectrochemical approach to the alkylation of 1-alkylpyridinium ion is described.Photolysis of a suspension of Pt-coated TiO2 (anatase) powder in an aqueous medium containing isobutyric acid and 1-ethylpyridinium perchlorate (pH 3-4) yielded 4-isopropyl-1-ethylpyridinium ion.Sevently percent of the isopropyl radicals generated at the TiO2 anode sites by the photo-Kolbe process were found to have alkylated 1-ethylpyridinium ion, in the 4-position, with the remaining 30percent being reduced to propane.
