Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Application of Ionic Liquids in Catholic Coupling of AcetophenonePo-Chung ChengProblem statement: The cathodic coupling of acetophnone was carried out in aqueous solutions containing sodium sulfate and 1-Octyl-3-Methylimidazolium Chloride ([OMIM]Cl) as supporting electrolytes. [OMIM]Cl is an ionic liquid, also serving as a co-solvent to prevent the deposition of products during electrolysis. The products are extracted with ether after electrolyses. Approach: It is shown in this study that the recycling of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
