Abstract

Abstract Electrolytic fixation of CO 2 was investigated by electrocarboxylation of organic halides (a), and four esters (I, II, III, IV) were obtained in moderate yields. Electrochemical reduction esterifications of RX in the presence of CO 2 were carried out on nanocrystalline TiO 2 ‐Pt electrode. The electrochemical behavior of RX in the presence of CO 2 was investigated by the technique of cyclic voltammetry, and the probable reaction mechanism was proposed.
