Here, we present an electrochemical C(sp2)–H bond alkylation of unactivated alkyl iodides via a halogen-atom transfer (XAT) process under mild conditions. This strategy avoids the drawbacks associated with sacrificing reactive metal anodes in electrochemical direct reduction and demonstrates excellent functional group tolerance.
