Abstract

A novel electrochemical cascade cyclization between nitrosobenzene and electron-deficient alkynes was developed in this work. The use of electroreduction for the activation of nitrosobenzene which highlighted the unique possibilities associated with electrochemical activation methods. This protocol represents a simple, efficient, and environmentally benign way to construct substituted quinolines and pyrroles in good yields with high selectivity.

Key words: electrosynthesis, cascade cyclization, nitrosobenzene
