Question:

One of the few industrial scale processes that produces organic compounds electrochemically is used by the Monsanto Company to produce 1,4 dicyanobutane. The reduction reaction is
2CH2PCHCN + 2H+ + 2e– → NCO(CH2)4OCN
The NCO(CH2)4OCN is then chemically reduced by hydrogen to H2NO(CH2)6ONH2, which is used in the production of nylon. What current must be used to produce 150. kg of NCO(CH2)4OCN per hour?
