Reaction Steps

When the above experiment was repeated using 17.5 grams of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte, there was observed a current yield of 44.0% with a 51.8% selectivity to anisaldehyde. In addition, the current efficiency was 84.9%. Again, when the experiment was repeated using 32 grams of sulfuric acid, the oxidation of p-methoxytoluene resulted in a current yield of 54.1%, a 54.1% selectivity to the aldehyde and a 100% current efficiency.
