Abstract
Electrochemically generated superoxide ion was used as a base to deprotonate secondary nitroalkanes whose anions were then oxidized with molecular oxygen, thereby providing a means of converting the secondary nitro group to a ketone. In addition, the radical anion of azobenzene was used as an electrogenerated base to catalyze the Michael condensation of primary nitroalkanes with a variety of acceptors; subsequent exposure of the Michael ...
