The replacement of sacrificial anodes by two new types of anodes-a silicon carbide and a hydrogen electrode-allows the electrochemical coupling of organohalosilanes without formation of metal chlorides. Methylated and phenylated mono-and dichlorosilanes were electrolyzed, using the new anodes in an undivided cell, with a constant current supply and with THF/ HMPA/Et4NBF4 as the solvent/electrolyte system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
