  • Example 1 Twenty percentsulfuric acid (200 milliliters) was charged equally to the anolyte and catholyte compartments of an electrolytic cell like that illustrated in FIG. 1. This cell had an amalgamated lead plate as a cathode and two platinum electrodes as anodes. The cathode and anode were separated by a ceramic diaphragm. A temperature of from to degrees centigrade was maintained by a water bath.
  • Nitrobenzene (5 grams) was then added to the catholyte section, below the electrolyte and an average current of 25 amperes per square foot was impressed and maintained on the electrolytic cell for a period of approximately 4.2 hours, so as to maintain a potential difference of 0.9 volt between the cathode and a standard calomel electrode inserted in the cell for measuring purposes only.
  • the electrolyte was then removed from the electrolytic cell and neutralized to a pH of 6, utilizing a percent sodium hydroxide solution.
  • the resultant mixture was then ether extracted.

  • the residue was thereafter dissolved in choroform, which was extracted with water.
  • the water was separated and combined with the water solution separated from the ether layer.
  • the chloroform solution was then evaporated to approximately 10 cc.

  • Example 2 The procedures of Example 1 were repeated, utilizing the same cell equipment but with a 1.4 ampere-hour current passage. The results, upon analysis, were as indicated in Table I. It was further observed in Example 1 and this example, by polarographic traces, that essentially 100 percent reversible reactions took place at the cathode, indicative of a high eificiency for the reduction of nitrobenzene.
  • Example 3 An electrolytic cell was utilized similar to FIGURE 2, in which the anode is in contact with, and the cathode is maintained out of contact with the reactant material.
  • a 10 percent HCl solution 200 milliliters was utilized as the electrolyte.
  • Both the anode and cathode were made of lead having V-shaped grooved surfaces one-eighth of an inch peak to peak and one-eighth of an inch deep.

  • a current density of amperes per square foot was impressed on this system.
  • the organic material was observed to wet the entire surface of the anode.
  • a polarographic trace showed essentially a completely reversible reaction. There was no evidence of gas evolution. After about 15 minutes, a yellow haze was evident in the vicinity of the anode. The haze increased with further electrolysis.

A wetting of the cathode by the monochlorobenzene was visible on impressing a direct current of about 70 amperes per square foot on the system. Hydrogen gas evolution from the cathode was terminated as the organic monochlorobenzene wetted or covered the cathode surface. Polarographic traces showed a reversible reaction evidencing high efiiciency of the reduction of monochlorobenzene.
