An electrochemical reductive allylation and alkylation of carbonyl groups in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones

Abstract

We report herein an electrochemical reductive allylation and alkylation of carbonyl groups in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. This study provides a practical and efficient new method for synthesizing allyl alcohol, propargyl alcohol, and homoallylic alcohol.
