All of the posts and articles that I have come across that describe a procedure to reduce nitrostyrenes electrolytically make no mention of using a
DSA anode for the reduction. My question is, has anyone had any experience using DSA anodes for organic synthesis? The advantages are of course that
the anode will not be consumed in the reaction, and it will not be coated with an oxide or passivation layer which would alter the properties as the
reaction proceeds. There are plenty of advantages to using it, so I wonder why no articles or postings make mention of using one, is it just that a
DSA is out of reach of most?
