A stereoselective synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones has been developed via electrochemical oxidative N–S bond cleavage aromatic sulfonylhydrazides, followed by cross-coupling reactions with cinnamic acids to form the C–S bond. The protocol proceeded smoothly afford in good yields wide substrate scope under metal-free and halogen-free conditions.
Thiocyanate compounds are key intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other sulfur-containing organic compounds. Herein, we first report an electrochemical protocol to synthesize vinyl thiocyanates from decarboxylative coupling cinnamic acids with NH4SCN aqueous solution. This method provides thiocyanation products broad functional group tolerance under ambient conditions.
A new method for the synthesis of formamides has been developed through electrochemical decarboxylative N-formylation amines with glyoxylic acid. This protocol provides an efficient approach to a broad range functional group tolerance under ambient conditions.
A new method for 3-formalytion of indoles has been developed through electrochemical decarboxylation glyoxylic acid with the amine as a dual function organocatalyst. The facilitated both and nucleophilic reaction efficiently, whose loading can be low 1 mol %.

Copper-catalyzed decarboxylative difluoroalkylation and perfluoroalkylation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids is described. Promoted by dialkyl phosphite, this novel reaction affords fluoroalkylated motifs with excellent stereoselectivity broad substrate scope under mild conditions from readily available fluoroalkyl iodides bromides. Preliminary mechanism study suggests that radical pathway was involved in the catalytic cycle phosphite had played an indispensable role reaction.
Abstract An efficient approach for the synthesis of quinazolinones from o ‐aminobenzamides and alcohols by combination electrochemistry redox‐metal catalysis has been developed.
