反応手順

Fit a jacketed glass cell of about 6L capacity with a rotating expanded silver mesh cathode/magnesium anote assembly, a carbon dioxide deliver tube, and a stainless steel thermocouple. Load the cell with acetonitrile (5.8L) and tetraethylammonium bromide (26 g). Sparge with carbon dioxide and cool in cooling bath. When the contents of the cell reach −10° C., add hydrogen chloride remediated 1-[4-(1-bromo-1-methyl-ethyl)-phenyl]-4-chloro-butan-1-one and 1-[4-(1-chloro-1-methyl-ethyl)-phenyl]-4-chloro-butan-1-one (424.9 g, 53.5 mole % bromo and 20.4 mole % chloro by HPLC analysis, 1087 mmol total active tertiary benzylic halide) and perform electrolysis at a controlled current of 8 amps (20 mA cm−2) for 6 hours. Drain the contents, acidify with chilled aqueous 6M hydrochloric acid, extract, evaporate the solvent in vacuo and recrystallize to give the title compound (186 g, 64%); 78.5-80.3° C.
