“…[1,2] With the introduction of more readily available electrosynthesis equipment, [3,4] electrosynthesis has experienced ar esurgence in interest, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and has proven to possess diverse applications such as the allylic oxidation of alkenes, [9] fluorination of sp 3 carbon centres, [11] cathodic radical deoxygenation, [12] electrochemical methoxymethylation, [6] and oxidative decarboxylation. [8] Furthermore,t hese electrochemical transformations have been successfully transposed to an industrial scale. [9,13] Compounds containing g-butyrolactone fragments exhibit varied uses,f or example as fungicidal, [14] antibiotic, [15,16] and anticancer agents, [17,18] and therefore are of particular interest in the pharmaceutical industry.…”
