Electrochemical Conversion of Lauric Acid Through Kolbe Electrolysis for the Synthesis of N-docosane

Lauric acid (n-dodecanoic acid), a saturated compound derived from animal fats and vegetable oils, can be used as a feedstock for lubricant production. In this work, the production of n-docosane from lauric acid via Kolbe electrolysis was studied using two commercially available electrodes in order...
