Abstract

Electrochemical dicarboxylation of styrene in the presence of atmospheric pressure of CO~2~ with a Ti cathode and a Mg rod anode readily took place efficiently in an acetonitrile solution containing 0.1 molΒ·L^βˆ’1^ tetraethylammonium bromide to give 2‐phenylsuccinic acid. Influences of the nature of the electrodes, the current density, the passed charge and the temperature on electrolysis were studied to optimize the electrolytic conditions, with the maximal isolated yield to be 86.07%. The mechanism of the elelctrocarboxylation process has been studied by cyclic voltammetry.

A solvate of (RS)-phenylsuccinic acid (RS-PSA) has been obtained from 2-propanol (IPA). The compound, C 10 H 10 O 4 ÁC 3 H 8 O, crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system (space group C2/c). It features molecules of the S form of the acid, one of whose carboxy groups is connected to one carboxy g
