Anodic oxidation of catechols in the presence of α-oxoketene N,N-acetals with a tetrahydropyrimidine ring: selective α-arylation reaction

Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of catechols leads to the formation of o-benzoquinones. This property has been applied to effectively synthesize α-arylated products of α-oxoketene N,N-acetals with a tetrahydropyrimidine ring.
