Abstract
1. A mechanism is proposed for the electroreduction of the methyl esters of benzoic and 2-thiophenecarboxylic acids in DMF with a supporting electrolyte of a tetrabutylaramonium salt, which takes into consideration the occurrence of concurrent first- and second-order reactions of the corresponding anion radicals. 2. It is shown that under conditions of predominant dimerization of the anion radicals of the studied esters the main products formed when the solutions are treated after electrolysis are the corresponding acids.
