Grignard reagents anodic dimerization

The work of Evans on the electrolysis of ethereal solutions of Grignard reagents [118] in general confirms the view of the anodic process as a free radical process. Thus, he showed that electrolysis of Grignard reagents with an insoluble anode gives products, the formation of which can be e lained by disproportionation, dimerization of the initially formed radicals, and reaction with the...
