Intramolecular carbon-carbon bond forming reactions at the anode

摘要: Oxidative cyclization reactions offer a unique opportunity both for generating new carbon-carbon bonds and gaining insight into the mechanisms that govern variety of radical, radical cation, cation intermediates. This review surveys recent developments in use electrochemistry as tool initiating these intriguing reactions. The transformations examined range from fragmentation resulting pathways to cation-based cycloaddition formation two or more bonds. products generated simple five-, six-, seven-membered rings complex bridged fused polycyclic ring skeletons. Many cyclic obtained either retain functionality used initiate their have higher level than found starting material. degree would appear make them ideal candidates further synthetic development.
