Depending on the degree of substitution at the α-carbon atom, the electrolyses of O-acylated α-hydroxy carboxylic acids 1 yield products of fragmentation (aldehydes or ketones 5) and products derived from acylium ions 4 in concurrence with simple anodic substitution products (acylales, amides, and imides, respectively).Dioxiranyl cations 2 are involved as intermediates.The fragmentation of the dioxiranyl cation 2 is investigated by semiempirical MINDO/3 calculations (Scheme 1).
