Abstract

Herein, we report a new electrochemical method for alkoxy radical generation from alcohols using a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) approach, showcased via the deconstructive functionalization of cycloalkanols. The electrochemical method is applicable across a diverse array of substituted cycloalkanols, accessing a broad range of synthetically useful distally functionalized ketones. The orthogonal derivatization of the products has been demonstrated through chemoselective transformations, and the electrochemical process has been performed on a gram scale in continuous single-pass flow.
