Abstract
The title compound, which is a good precursor of 2-(p-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid, was synthesized in 85% yield by the electrochemical reduction of p-isobutylacetophenone in DMF containing 0.5 M BU4NI on Hg pool cathode by passing 2.0 F/mol electricity with a constant current density of 48.2 mA/cm2 in the presence of CO2.
