Abstract

The electroreduction of a mixture of functionalized aromatic or heteroaromatic bromides or chlorides and allylic compounds such as acetates or carbonates in an electrochemical cell fitted with a sacrificial iron anode affords, in the presence of cobalt halide associated with pyridine as ligand in acetonitrile or DMF, the corresponding coupling product in good yields.
