Electro-organic reactions. Part 60[1]. The electro-oxidative conversion at laboratory scale of a lignosulfonate into vanillin in an FM01 filter press flow reactor: preparative and mechanistic aspects
The electrochemical conversion of a spruce lignosulfonate into vanillin, at nickel anodes, was explored in previously unobtainable detail. A flow reactor (FM01), in a rig that permitted considerable variation ...

Useful Electro-Oxidative Conversions of Aromatic Compounds
Conditions for the direct and indirect side-chain oxidation of methylnaphthalenes were explored, together with substituent effects likely to influence the acidity of their radical-cations. That substituent eff...

Biomass electrochemistry: Anodic oxidation of an organo-solv lignin in the presence of nitroaromatics
The temperature required for the anodic conversion of an organo-solv spruce lignin, in aqueous alkaline solution, may be lowered by the addition of nitrobenzene or 1,3-dinitrobenzene. The additives cause signi...

Electrogenerated bases
Cathodically generated anion-radicals and dianions often have useful basic properties. Such electrogenerated bases (EGB's) have been applied to organic synthesis and are either generated stoichiometrically in sit...

The Electrochemical Conversion of Biomass-Derived Compounds
It is timely to describe the application of electrochemical methods for the transformation of organic compounds; the method is powerful and non-thermal and its possible advantages are being increasingly explor...
