Reaction Steps

If the material discharged from the electrolysis is worked up similarly to Example 1, 120.3 g of p-tert.-butylbenzaldehyde and 144.1 g of p-tert.-butylbenzyl acetate are obtained in addition to 13.2 g of unconverted p-tert.-butyltoluene. This corresponds to a yield of 75.5% and a current efficiency of 51.4%.
