Abstract

Conditions of Kolbe cross-electrosynthesis of 10-undecylenic and acetic acids are studied on different catalyst anodes. It is shown that the key anodic process stages are the stages of formation of vinyl radicals from anions of unsaturated and methyl radicals under electrosynthesis of acetate anions. As dependent on the conditions of the process, the main product formed on the anode of the Pt-10% Ir alloy is either hydrocarbon CH3CH2CH(CH3)(CH2)7CH2CH3 (58 wt %) being the product of addition of three methyl radicals to a vinyl radicals or olefin CH2=CH(CH2)7CH2CH3 (57 wt %) being the product of dimerization of vinyl and methyl radicals.
