Conclusions
-
1.
The electrochemical chlorination of acetone in aqueous hydrochloric acid leads to a mixture of mono- and dichloro derivatives, the ratio of which is a function of the current passed.
-
2.
The electrochemical chlorination of monochloroacetone and 1,1-dichloroacetone in carbonate buffer solution leads to 1,1,1-trichloroacetone in good yield.
