Electrocatalytic conversion of ω-azido carboxylic acids to 1-pyrrolines via a combined process of oxidative decarboxylation and intramolecular Schmidt rearrangement

Abstract

1-pyrrolines constitute a significant group of organic intermediates, and we present here an electrocatalytic method toward their synthesis. Electrochemical oxidation of ω-azido carboxylic acids followed by an intramolecular Schmidt rection...
