Abstract

We have developed a method that involves the generation of a “cation pool” using low- temperature electrolysis, and then its reaction with nucleophiles under non-oxidative conditions. This one-pot method solves problems associated with conventional oxidative generation of cations and their in situ reaction with nucleophiles, and provides an efficient method for direct oxidative carbon-carbon bond formation. As an example of this method, ...
