Abstract

In organic synthesis, radical chain reactions are widely utilized for the synthesis of complex organic molecules.[1] In contrast, cationic chain reactions [2] are not so widely used, although carbocationic reactions [3] and cationic chain-growth polymerization [4] are applied extensively in organic and polymer synthesis, respectively. Herein we report an example of a cationic chain reaction which is initiated by an electrochemically generated cationic ...
