An electrochemical α-alkenylation of nitriles was developed in an undivided cell under base-free condition. A wide range of nitriles and aldehydes were effectively converted into the corresponding α-alkenylated derivatives with high yields by virtue of this method. The reaction features broad substrate scope, metal-free, chemical oxidant-free and scalability.
