Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of 2,2-disubstituted cyclic ketones was carried out using Et 3N-5HF as the electrolyte. The selective cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond between the carbonyl carbon and substituted α-carbon took place and fluorocarboxylic acid esters ( 2) were obtained in good yields after the esterification of the resulting fluoroacyl fluorides ( 1).
