Abstract
The preparation of α-hydroxy cycloalkanones from keto acids was effectively achieved by constant current electrolysis in the presence of Bu3P in an undivided cell under an N2 atmosphere, where the α-oxy ylides generated by the in situ cathodic reduction of acyl tributylphosphonium ions, formed anodically from tributylphosphine and carboxylic acids, seems to function as a novel acyl anion equivalent.
