Electrochemical Trioxygenation of Allylarenes

Abstract

AbstractTrioxygenation is a highly effective method for rapidly increasing molecular complexity by incorporating three C–O bonds from simple, readily available raw materials. In this study, we present an electrochemical trioxygenation protocol for allylarenes, which enables the synthesis of a diverse array of triacetoxylation products without external chemical oxidants. These products, which are difficult to obtain through conventional methods, highlight the potential of electrochemistry in promoting sustainable synthesis.
