Auto-inhibition effects in anodic oxidation of phenols for electrochemical waste-water purification

Anodic Materials with High Energy Efficiency for Electrochemical Oxidation of Toxic Organics in Waste Water

Electrochemical Oxidation of Chlorinated Phenols

Electrochemical oxidation has been proposed as a remediation method for chlorinated phenols but is hampered by anode fouling. In this work we explore the mechanism of anode fouling by chlorinated phenols, compare structure vs reactivity for phenols differing in the extent of chlorination, and relate the efficiency of oxidation to the mechanism of oxidation at different electrode types. Linear s...

The electrochemical approach to concerted proton--electron transfers in the oxidation of phenols in water.

Establishing mechanisms and intrinsic reactivity in the oxidation of phenol with water as the proton acceptor is a fundamental task relevant to many reactions occurring in natural systems. Thanks to the easy measure of the reaction kinetics by the current and the setting of the driving force by the electrode potential, the electrochemical approach is particularly suited to this endeavor. Despit...

Direct electrochemical imidation of aliphatic amines via anodic oxidation.

Direct electrochemical synthesis of sulfonyl amidines from aliphatic amines and sulfonyl azides was realized with good to excellent yields. Traditional tertiary amine substrates were broadened to secondary and primary amines. The reaction intermediates were observed and a reaction mechanism was proposed and discussed.
