Description
Esters are common and widely used in industry. Traditional methods of ester synthesis involve a reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of a Bronsted acid catalyst. This research project focused on carrying out the ester synthesis using the electrochemical coupling of aldehydes with alcohols.
