A selective anodic oxidation system in which a carbocation intermediate is generated exclusively by use of a temperature-controlled multiphase solution to separate the different stages of the reaction from each other and from the products is described. The formation of a thermomorphic middle layer in an electrolytic solution composed of c-Hex and LPC/MeNO2 results in enhanced interaction between aliphatic alkenes and polar unstable cation.
