Abstract
The electrochemical polymerization of adipic acid via the Kolbe synthesis was investigated in methanol, methanol-pyridine and methanol-acetonitrile mixtures. The complex variety of products formed from C 4 and higher hydrocarbons, methyl esters, methyl ethers, lactones, oligomers and polymers in the various solvents were analyzed and compared. Generally the major products were the hydrocarbons and the polymers; the yield of the former decreased with increasing pyridine concentration and that of the latter increased.
