Electrocarboxylation of haloacetophenones 1 has been carried out in an undivided cell equipted with Ag cathode and Mg sacrificial anode in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Cyclic voltammetry was also used to investigate the electroreduction behavior of haloacetophenones at Ag electrode. The cleavage of C-X bond was more favored for the electrocatalytic ability of Ag. Thus, 4-acetyl benzoate 2 was obtained as the principal product, accompanied by acetophenone 3 and 2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropionate 4. The performances of process have been found to be dependent on the synthesis conditions, such as cathode material, supporting electrolyte, electric charge, current density and the temperature. Higher yields were obtained by changing from chloro to bromo to iodo derivatives, and from ortho to para to meta isomer.
