Abstract

High current efficiencies and material yields were attained in the indirect electrochemical oxidation of toluene and chlorotoluene to the corresponding aldehyde. The oxidant used was Ce4+ in HClO4, which was regenerated at platinized titanium anodes. A cost estimate showed that the electrochemical route could be economically attractive.
