“…Electrochemical [3+2] cycloaddition of substituted anilines 25 and 1,3-dicarbonyl 139 compounds for the construction of functionalized indoles 140 was reported by Sun et al 101 The electrochemical reaction was designed in an undivided cell equipped with a carbon anode and a platinum cathode connected to a DC regulated power supply (1.5 mA). A wide range of N -protected anilines (PG = Ts, Bs, Bz, Boc, Me) with diverse substitution in the aromatic ring (R 1 = OMe, OEt, O n Pr, NO 2 , CN, Br, Cl, etc. )…”
