Abstract
Electrocarboxylation of anthrone in the presence of CO 2 to anthrance-9-carboxylic acid directly was carried out. The electroreduction behavior of anthrone was examined by cyclic voltammetry in the absence and presence of CO 2. Then the influences of the supporting electrolytes, temperature, electrode material and anthrone concentration on the carboxylation yield were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, anthrancene-9-carboxylic acid was obtained in a good yield(96.1%).
