✦ Synopsis

The anodic oxidation of tetrahydrofuran in acid aqueous electrolytes has been investigated in detail. Selective oxidation to 2-hydroxy tetrahydrofuran has been found to proceed. Under optimum conditions (smooth platinum, high current densities, 200 -400 mA/cm2, 1 -6 M THF, 1 M H SO quasi divided cells), the product was obtained 2n S;tzE "t&z laboratory scale (60% of 2 F/mol conversion) with 70% current efficiency and 95% selectivity. Only traces of butyrolactone and succinic acid, the dominating products in the case of PbO2 anodes, were found. Oxygen is the main side product.

Direct monohydroxylation of benzene and substituted benzenes was successfully performed by anodic oxidation to form the corresponding phenol derivatives in good yields. The anodic oxidation was generally carded out in a mixed solvent of trifluoroacetic acid and dichloromethane containing triethylami
