The Electrochemical cis-Chlorination of Alkenes

Chemistry. 2021 Oct 14. doi: 10.1002/chem.202103316. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDouble Role - the cis-chlorination of alkenes is realised in an electrochemical setup with PhSeCl as catalyst. The supporting electrolyte (TBACl) acts as nucleophilic reagent for the SN2-type replacemant of the selenium versus chloride in the key step of the process while the PhSeCl-adduct is activated by electrochemically generated PhSeCl3.PMID:34648232 | DOI:10.1002/chem.202103316
