Product 1

HCID 73904-tert-ButyltolueneYield 83.3%

Procedure

If the material discharged from the electrolysis is worked up similarly to Example 1, 284.8 g of p-tert.-butylbenzaldehyde and 295.3 g of p-tert.-butylbenzyl acetate are obtained in addition to 25.2 g of unconverted p-tert.-butyltoluene. This corresponds to a yield of 83.3% and a current efficiency of 58.2%. The p-tert.-butylbenzaldehyde is separated from the p-tert.-butylbenzyl acetate by the method described in Example 1.
