Abstract
In the reported investigation, the electroinitiated oligomerization of methyl acrylate in methanol solution in the presence of lithium acetate was studied. It was found that in this system the initiator is the methyl radical (obtained from anodic oxidation of acetate ion), and the major termination step is the abstraction of hydrogen radical from methanol by the growing oligomer chain. Eleven compounds were found to be formed in the reaction. A reaction sequence for their formation together with an electric balance for the reactions is given.
