Merging Paired Electrolysis With Continuous Flow: CHCl <sub>3</sub> Activation for Olefin Interconversion

Herein, the first use of CHCl 3 as a “traceless” reagent to trigger a 1,2‐aryl migration for the synthesis of vinyl ketones has been developed. Its success relies on a continuous‐flow strategy that harnesses the synergistic cathodic reduction of CHCl 3 and anodic oxidation of Cl − and carbon‐centered radicals. This electrochemical method operates under catalyst‐free conditions and employs low‐concentration electrolytes along with low‐cost electrodes, thereby enhancing its practicality and sustainability.

Abstract

Herein, the first use of CHCl 3 as a “traceless” reagent to trigger a 1,2‐aryl migration for the synthesis of vinyl ketones has been developed. Its success relies on a continuous‐flow strategy that harnesses the synergistic cathodic reduction of CHCl 3 and anodic oxidation of Cl − and carbon‐centered radicals. This electrochemical method operates under catalyst‐free conditions and employs low‐concentration electrolytes along with low‐cost electrodes, thereby enhancing its practicality and sustainability.
