Abstract: Chlorotoluene was synthesised by anodic oxidation using netted titanium as the anode，netted nickel as the cathode，saturated NaCl solution as the anode electrolyte and an ion exchange membrane as a separator．The selections of reactive condition such as mass fraction of electrolyte，current density，electrolyte temperature and reaction time are discussed．The optimized reaction conditions were found to be 25％ NaCl as the anode electrolyte，10％ NaOH as the cathode electrolyte，10—15A／dm2 of current density and the reaction temperature as 25 ℃，under which chlorotoluene yield reached to 55.5％ with a current efficiancy of 51.5％.
