Lopushanskaya V. Physico-chemical law patterns for electrochemically activated insertion of carbon dioxide into aliphatic and aromatic acyl halides.

A feasibility was first shown to carry out processes of electrochemically activated insertion of carbon dioxide into aliphatic and aromatic acyl halides to open radical new ways for a-oxocarboxylic acids preparation. RCOHal activation was found as a key stage in the process of electrochemically activated carboxylation of acyl halides with using of CO2. The principal law patterns of organic substrate's electron structure, acyl group halogen nature, supporting electrolyte, electrode material effect upon pathway of both the processes of acyl halides electrochemical activation and their carboxylation have been ascertained. The plausible mechanisms of the processes of acyl halides electrochemical activation and carboxylation have been substantiated.
