Unactivated alkenes were previously found to be effective carbon nucleophiles for anodic cycloadditions in lithium perchlorate/nitromethane electrolyte solution. Herein, 7Li NMR analysis and calorimetric studies clearly illustrate that the entropic effect is essential for these anodic cycloadditions, which has led to the successful screening of novel effective electrolytes.
