Abstract
Electrochemical investigations on Pd2+ plus benzoquinone BQ in 1butyl3methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate BMIMBF4 are reported The presented investigations establish that presence of BQ enhances the electroreduction of Pd2+ and hence electrochemically assisted Pd2+ plus BQ system in BMIMBF4 can be used as clean green alternative to conventional Wackertype catalytic systems wherein the BQ as terminal oxidant can be regenerated electrochemicallyMAB would like to thank University authorities—especially Vice Chancellor University of Kashmir and Head Department of Chemistry University of Kashmir for sanction of study leave in his favor and Dr S K Haram University of Pune for providing the necessary facilities and support to carry out the presented work
