摘要

Oximes are crucial intermediates in the production of polymers and pharmaceuticals. Conventional synthesis methods, involving the hydrogenation of nitrogen oxides and nucleophilic addition of hydroxylamine to carbonyl compounds, are energy-intensive and hazardous. Here, we report an economical and sustainable electrosynthesis route to oximes using hydroxyl compounds and nitrate in an anode-cathode cascade electrolyzer. In this system, hydroxyl compounds are first dehydrogenated to ketones at a cobalt oxyhydroxide anode, followed by the subsequent co-reduction of ketones with nitrate at a Cu-substituted Fe3C cathode to form oximes. The cascade electrolyzer exhibits robust performance over 72 h at 2.8 V, achieving a high pyruvatoxime yield of 2.61 mmol cm–2 h–1 with a Faradaic efficiency of 101%. This versatile method accommodates diverse feedstocks, enabling the production of various relevant commodities. Process modeling and techno-economic analysis confirm the viability and cost-effectiveness of this innovative approach, offering a more sustainable pathway to essential chemical intermediates.
