A Novel Electrochemical Method of Acetylation of Alcohols by Methyl Acetate

A Novel Electrochemical Method of Acetylation of Alcohols by Methyl Acetate

A new electrochemical method of acetylation, using methyl acetate at room temperature, was developed. The current efficiency in all the reactions with primary alcohols exceeded 100%, ranging from 126 to 166%, indicating that this method of acetylation is advantageous for the preparation of acetates...

Zusammenfassung:A new electrochemical method of acetylation, using methyl acetate at room temperature, was developed. The current efficiency in all the reactions with primary alcohols exceeded 100%, ranging from 126 to 166%, indicating that this method of acetylation is advantageous for the preparation of acetates from the viewpoint of energy economy.
