Abstract:
One-pot electrochemical method of synthesis of ketones, diketones, and esters of monoketo- and diketoalkanoic acids is elaborated. This method is based on the diaphragmless galvanostatic electrolysis of Na salts of secondary nitro compounds—derivatives of nitrohydrocarbons, nitroketones, and esters of nitrated alkanoic acids—in methanol.
