N2 - The electrolysis of sebacic acid was investigated in methanol, methanol:pyridine (1:1) and methanol:acetonitrile (1:1). The various products were analyzed. In methanol, the major product was the oligomeric carboxylic acid fraction (55%) and the yield of oligomeric hydrocarbons and polymer was lower. With the other two solvents, the polymer was the major product. Four types of hydrocarbons were formed: n-alkane, 1-alkene, x-alkene (the position of the double bond is not known) and cycloalkane. The polymers obtained in all the solvents had the character of cross-linked and branched polyethylene, having ester and methoxy groups. These polymers did not suffer degradation during basic hydrolysis. In comparison with adipic acid, sebacic acid had more tendency to yield polymer and carboxylic acids than hydrocarbons.
