Inversion of regioselectivity in the electrochemical prenylation of benzaldehyde on a graphite powder cathode
A green electrochemical heterocoupling procedure has been developed. Prenyl halides and benzaldehyde adsorbed on a graphite powder cathode were reduced in a cavity cell using aqueous anolyte, providing isomer mixtures of prenylated alcohols. High alpha -regioselectivity was observed using graphite w...

Zusammenfassung: | A green electrochemical heterocoupling procedure has been developed. Prenyl halides and benzaldehyde adsorbed on a graphite powder cathode were reduced in a cavity cell using aqueous anolyte, providing isomer mixtures of prenylated alcohols. High alpha -regioselectivity was observed using graphite with 3% TBABF sub(4), while high gamma -regioselectivity was obtained using 2% silver-doped graphite. |
