Abstract:simple method for the preparation of 2-Bromo Methyl Naphthalene from 2-Methyl Naphthalene is reported. The electrolysis was carried out in a divided electrochemical cell fitted with graphite electrode at 0°C. The conversion of 2-Methyl naphthalene varies from 70 to 75 % and the selectivity is observed 92%. The effects of different electrode, different solvent, and different current densities are studied and reported.

Abstract:simple method for the preparation of 4-Methoxy Benzylchloride from 4-Methoxy Toluene is reported. The electrolysis was carried out at room temperature in a divided electrochemical cell fitted with graphite electrodes. The conversion of 4-Methoxy Toluene varies from 80 to 85 % and the selectivity observed is above as 99%. The effects of different electrode, solvent, current densities are studied and reported.
