An aryl-to-alkyl radical relay arylation reaction of a remote C(sp³)–H bond using 1,4-dicyanobenzene as an electrochemical redox-mediator

Abstract

In this paper, we developed an electro-reductive aryl-to-alkyl radical relay arylation reaction of a remote C(sp3)–H bond via a 1,5-HAT process. This protocol features mild conditions, simple operation, and a broad substrate scope.
