At point of use sono-electrochemical generation of hydrogen peroxide for chemical synthesis: The green oxidation of benzonitrile to benzamide

At point of use generation of synthetically useful quantities of hydrogen peroxide in a non-optimized sono-electrochemical cell is reported. Proof-of-concept of the use of this procedure for green synthesis is given through the oxidation of benzonitrile to benzamide with yields similar to those obtained via bulk chemical synthesis.
