摘要

A new electrochemical synthesis of 2-anisidine from 2-nitroanisole has been developed in room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), which was carded out under mild and safe conditions, where the volatile, toxic solvents, catalysts, as well as any additional supporting electrolyte were avoided. The maximal yield of 2-anisidine reached 51.3% on Cu-graphite couple electrodes under potentiostatic electrolysis at -1.0 V (vs. SCE) until 6 F·mol-1 of charge was passed at 50℃, which offers a new and clean route to synthesis of 2-anisidine. The reduction behavior of 2-nitroanisole was studied in RTIL by cycle voltammertry. The RT1L could be recycled.
