Electrochemical Radical Reactions of Enol Acetates and Free Alcohols Directly Access to α‑Alkoxylated Carbonyl Compounds

The efficient intermolecular alkoxylation reactions of various enol acetates and different alcohols are developed in the electrochemical process for the first time. Enol acetates derived from either aromatic, alkyl, or alicyclic ketones, and abundant free alcohols directly used in this synthetic strategy, make this transformation very valuable in synthesis and application in the future.
