Abstract
AbstractAn unprecedented external oxidant‐free electrochemical protocol for 1, 3‐oxohydroxylation of donor‐acceptor cyclopropane is disclosed. The strategy encompasses the activation of the labile π‐electron cloud of the aryl ring to cleave the strained Csp3−Csp3 bond of cyclopropane to afford the β‐hydroxy ketones via insertion of molecular oxygen. More significantly, based on the detailed mechanistic investigations and cyclic voltammetry experiments, a plausible mechanism is proposed.
