Abstract
A procedure was proposed for electrochemical reduction of 2,5-dichloronitrobenzene to 2,5-dichloroaniline in aqueous-ethanolic solution of sulfuric acid. The procedure for preparing 2,5-dichloroanilinium sulfate was optimized. The influence exerted by the cathode material, nature and amount of the organic solvent, sulfuric acid concentration, and electrolysis temperature on the yield and quality of the target product was discussed.
