mm) to minimize the ohmic voltage drop in the
electrolyte ( Figure 6.26 ) [73].

On the other hand, in laboratory-scale
experiments, the use of a simple thin-layer
flow-cell geometry with working and auxiliary
electrodes directly facing each other allows
electrosynthetic processes to be conducted in
flow-through mode in the absence of
supporting electrolyte ( Figure 6.27 ) [74]. For
example, by using this type of cell, the
methoxylation of furan is conducted anodically
in methanolic solution even in the absence of
added supporting electrolyte [75].
