Abstract: The indirect electrolytic oxidative coupling reaction of some activated methylene compounds was studied by using KI-NaI as the indirect electrolyte and acetone as solvent. The results showed that this oxidative system was suitable for β-dicarbonyl compounds having acidity of pK=9~13 under proper conditions to give symmetric multifunctional products in satisfactory yields.

Key words: β-dicarbonyl compound, indirect electrolytic oxidative, coupling reaction
