Abstract: The invention relates to an electrochemical process for preparing bis-O-alkyl-carbamates from primary amines with CO2 as carbonyl source and at least one alkyl halide with at least three carbon atoms in the alkyl group as alkylating agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode that includes an electrically conducting substrate based on a valve metal having a main proportion of titanium, tantalum or niobium, and an electrocatalytically active coating comprising up to 50 mol % of a noble metal oxide or noble metal oxide mixture and at least 50 mol % of titanium oxide. The coating includes a minimum proportion of oxides of anatase structure determined by a ratio of the signal height of the most intensive anatase reflection in an x-ray diffractogram (CuK? radiation) after subtraction of a linear background to the signal height of the most intensive rutile reflection in the same diffractogram, wherein the ratio is at least 0.6.
