ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS FOR COUPLING OF PHENOL TO ANILINE

摘要

The invention relates to an electrochemical method for coupling phenol and aniline, the difference of the oxidation potential of the substrates being in the region of 10 mV-450 mV and the substrate with the highest oxidation potential being added in excess. Said method enables biaryls, which have hydroxy- and amino functions, to be electrochemically produced and to dispense with multi-step syntheses using metallic reagents.
