Electrocatalytic ring-opening dihydroalkoxylation of N-aryl maleimides with alcohols under metal- and oxidant-free conditions

Abstract

The electrocatalytic ring-opening dihydroalkoxylation of N-aryl maleimides with alcohols under metal- and oxidant-free conditions is described. This electrochemical process consists of anodic single-electron transfer oxidation, cathodic radical reduction, rearrangement-ring cleavage...
