A scalable and efficient electrocatalytic dehydrogenative esterification is reported. With an indirect electrolysis strategy, both intra- and intermolecular-type reactions were amenable to this practical method. With n-BuNI as the catalyst, undesired decarboxylation and Baeyer-Villiger oxidation were suppressed. More importantly, this novel method provided reliable and direct access to the natural product cytosporanone A on a gram scale.

Developing high-performance bifunctional electrocatalysts for both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a significant challenge for the implementation of rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Herein, MnO2 nanotubes...
