The electrochemical acylation and carboxylation of some activated olefins have been investigated.Acenaphthylene yields thus on reductive electrochemical acetylation mainly the Z and E enol acetates of 1-(1,2-dihydro-1-acenaphthylidene)ethanone, whereas carboxylation followed by methylation gives trans-1,2-dimethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroacenaphthene.Ethyl cinnamate can be acylated and carboxylated in the 3-position, whereas benzoylacetone could be carboxylated but not acetylated.Neither carboxylation nor acylation were able to compete with the dimerization of benzylidenemalonitrile.Cyclic voltammetry showed that carboxylation generally was faster than acetylation.
