Abstract

Electrochemical carboxylation of cinnamate esters has been carried out by cathodic reduction of C{double bond, long}C bond in an undivided cell equipped with Mg sacrificial anode and using MeCN saturated with CO₂ as solvent. The yields and the ratio of mono- and dicarboxylic acids are strongly affected by various factors: cathodic material, current, charge, and temperature. The highest yield (78.9%) was obtained starting from ethyl cinnamate. Cyclic voltammograms have been measured and reaction pathways have been proposed.
