Abstract
A mild and efficient approach for the electrochemical conversion of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes is reported in homogeneous medium using Carbon/Stainless Steel electrodes and NaCl as mediator with H2SO4 as supporting electrolyte. To achieve excellent product conversion, optimization of the reaction condition with various parameters was carried out in a beaker type cell. In 2 F of current density and ambient temperature, benzyl alcohols electrochemically oxidized to benzaldehydes in 90% yield. The present work demonstrates a green and sustainable route for benzaldehydes preparation and the superiority of electrochemical method for organic synthesis.
