Electrolysis of chlorobenzene was carried out in a one-compartment cell fitted with an aluminium anode and a platinum cathode. Electrolysis in N, N-dimethylformamide （DMF） solution containing 0.1 M of tetrapropylammonium bromide （TPAB） at 0 ℃, 100 ml/min of CO2 flow rate and 120 mA/cm^2 of current density was found to be the optimum conditions of this electrocarboxylation, which gave 72% yield of benzoic acid from chlorobenzene. These conditions were then applied to 1,2-dichlorobenzene and 1,3-dichlorobenzene in order to convert them to their corrcsponding benzoic acids.展开更多
