✦ Synopsis

Indirect Electrochemical Oxidation of Cyclic Ketones: Influence of Ring Size, Mediator and Supporting Electrolyte on the Result of the Reaction.

-The formation of cyclic 2,2-dimethoxycycloalkanols and the electrochemically induced Favorskii rearrangement with the formation of methyl cycloalkene carboxylates containing in the ring one carbon atom less than the starting ketone are the main pathways of the indirect electrochemical oxidation of cyclic ketones. -(BARBA, F.; ELINSON, M.
