An efficient anodic C­(sp3)–H acyloxylation protocol has been established via intermolecular cross-dehydrogenative C­(sp3)–O coupling. The protocol provides various C2-acyloxy indolin-3-ones without the addition of metal catalysts and external oxidants because indolin-3-ones can be directly oxidized at the anode. The effective application of several medical drugs and the realization of the gram-scale experiment have proven the practicality of this protocol.

An electrochemical protocol for the construction of substituted isoindolinones via reduction/amidation of 2-carboxybenzaldehydes and amines has been realized. Under metal-free and external-reductant-free electrolytic conditions, the reaction achieves the cascade formation of intermolecular C−N bonds and provides a series of isoindolinones in moderate to good yields. The deuteriumlabeling experiment proves that the hydrogen in the methylene of the product is mainly provided by H 2 O in the system. I soindolinones are an important class of nitrogen-containing structural scaffolds, which appear in a myriad of natural products, biologically active molecules, 1 and clinical drugs, 2 such as TNF-α production inhibitors CC3052 and DWP205190, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug indoprofen, anticancer drug lenalidomide, etc. (Figure 1).

An efficient cathodic carbonyl alkylation of aryl ketones or aldehydes with unactivated alkyl halides has been realized through the electrochemical activation of iron. The protocol is believed to include a radical–radical coupling or nucleophilic addition process, and the formation of ketyl radicals and alkyl radicals has been demonstrated. The protocol provides various tertiary or secondary alcohols by the formation of intermolecular C–C bonds under safe and mild conditions, is scalable, consumes little energy, and exhibits a broad substrate scope.

A regioselective coupling of aliphatic ketones with alkenes has been realized by cathodic reduction. This reaction enables the formation of ketyl radicals and the activation of challenging alkenes under mild electrolysis conditions, providing an effective protocol for accessing diverse tertiary alcohols with substrate-dependent regioselectivity. The practicability of this reaction is demonstrated by scale-up experiments. The hydrogen source for the products, the migration isomerization of allylarenes, and the applicability of internal alkenes are demonstrated by control experiments.

Additional degrees of freedom existed in dual-motor coupling system bring considerable challenge to the optimal control of electric vehicles. Moreover, the stochastic characteristic of vehicle mass can further increase this challenge. A receding horizon control (RHC) strategy in consideration of stochastic vehicle mass is proposed in this study to respond to this challenge. Aiming at an electric vehicle with dual-motor coupling, a Markov chain is firstly deployed to predict future driving conditions by a formulated state transition probability matrix, based on historical driving cycles in real-world. Then, future required power is predicted by the predicted driving conditions, stochastic vehicle mass and road gradient, where the stochastic vehicle mass is formulated as stochastic variables in different bus stops. Finally, dynamic programming is employed to calculate the optimal vector of the vehicle within the defined prediction horizon, and only the first control values extracted from the optimal control vector are used to execute real-time power distribution control. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy is reasonable and can at least reduce electric consumption by 4.64%, compared with rule-based strategy.
