“…In contrast to dimethylformamide and ionic liquids, bicontinuous microemulsions contain significant amount of water and are indeed much greener media for chemical and electrochemical processes [16]. Rusling et al have reported free radical generation and coupling processes in bicontinuous microemulsion [17][18][19]. Similar electro generated free radical reactions have also been reported [20,21].…”

“…Emulsions may be simple emulsions ͑''water in oil'' or ''oil in water''͒ or a ''bicontinuous microemulsion.'' 79,80 Such bicontinuous microemulsions are nontoxic, have a large interfacial area facilitating an intimate mixing of polar and nonpolar reagents, and high conductivity.…”

“…All the above synthetic investigations by Rusling and coworkers have been carried out under potentiostatic conditions. There is only one report from this group, which employs the galvanostatic method for such synthesis, where the yield was found to be low [26]. Further confirmation of the feasibility of electro organic synthesis in lEs is yet to emerge.…”

Electrochemical homolytic and heterolytic coupling of activated olefins in the absence and presence of benzyl bromide in microemulsion

Electrochemical reduction of four activated olefins namely cyclohexenone (CH), cyclopentenone (CP), methylmethacrylate (MMA), acrylonitrile (AN) in the absence and presence of benzylbromide (BBr) were investigated in CTAB/n-hexane/n-butanol/water based bicontinuous microemulsion (lE). Both cyclic voltammetric studies and galvanostatic preparative electrolysis were carried out. Cyclic voltammetric results in lE were also compared with those in N,N-dimehtylformamide (DMF) medium. Adsorption effects are observed both in DMF and lE. AN undergoes one electron reduction in aprotic solvent and two electron reduction in lE. CH, CP, BBr undergo one electron reduction and yield significant homolytic coupled products under galvanostatic conditions. AN and MMA lead to two electron reduction under identical conditions. In the presence of BBr, CH and CP alone yield significant heterolytic coupled products with simultaneous competitive resin formation. Reduction of AN leads to the formation of a identifiable quantity of propylamine and 3-phenylpropylamine in the absence and in the presence of BBr, respectively.
