## Abstract The electrochemical synthesis of muscalure, (__Z__)‐9‐tricosene(**1**), has been carried out by coelectrolysis of erucic acid (**2**) and propionic acid (**3**) in an undivided cell in methanol. To optimize the yield of the cross coupled product **1**, the reaction has been studied in d
