An electrolytic system that uses solid-supported bases for in situ generation of a supporting electrolyte from acetic acid solvent

Re-usability is trumps: The electrolytic system presented here (see graphic) has been used for the anodic acetoxylation of various compounds to provide the corresponding acetoxylated products in good to excellent yields. The acetoxylated products and the solid-supported bases can easily be separated by filtration, and the separated solid-supported bases can be re-used many times. (Chemical Equation Presented)
