| Description |
A simple method for the preparation of benzyl chloride from toluene by two-phase electrolysis is reported. The major product is benzyl
chloride in contrast to chlorotoluenes in homogeneous electrolysis. Electrolysis was carried out at 30 ◦C in chloroform solvent. Toluene
conversion ranges from 80 to 85% and the selectivity is as high as 95%. The effect of different electrodes, temperatures, and current density
are studied and the optimum condition is reported.
