Abstract

The electrocatalytic properties of Ag for the reduction of organic halides have been exploited for one-pot electrosynthesis of benzoic acid. Among various investigated dipolar aprotic solvents, only dimethylformamide gives good results. The process has been investigated both under potentiostatic and galvanostatic control. In both cases, the reaction smoothly proceeds under mild conditions and lasts in a few hours, giving benzoic acid yields of the order of 80%.
