Electrolysis of alkyl benzyl ketones in MeOH in an undivided electrolyzer in the presence of the Nal-NaOH mediator system induces the process similar to the Favorsky rearrangement to produce arylalkanecarboxylates in 80-90% yield (per substance) and with the 50-55% current efficiency.

Electrochemical oxidation of methyl ketones in methanoi in the presence of alkali metal bromides affords methyl carboxylates. Benzyl alkyl ketones are transformed under similar conditions into methyl 3-phenylalkanoates, while ketones lacking σ-benzyl or σ-methyl group are oxidized into σ-hydroxyketals.

An electrocatalytic haloform reaction is accomplished.Methyl ketones are converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid methyl esters in a diaphragmless electrolyzer in methanol in the presence of catalytic quantities of NaBr.The methyl ester of 3-phenylpropanoic acid is formed from benzyl methyl ketone under these conditions via electrochemically induced Favorskii rearrangement.
