Methoxylation of ketones

The anodic a-acetoxylation or a-methoxylation of ketones has been shown to be a powerful tool for the 1,2-transposition of the caibonyl group. The overall process is described by equation (24). ... 

The anodic methoxylation of ketones is a recent commercial example for an indirect process in an undivided cell [107]. The process (Fig. 18) was developed for BASF s undivided capillary gap cells with bipolar graphite electrodes [108] (Scheme 12).
