Abstract
Anodic oxidation of catechols in the presence of enaminones serving as potential doubly nucleophiles is examined using cyclic voltammetry and preparative electrolysis methods. Selective α-arylation is observed, which is consistent with that from the chemical oxidation approach. The results demonstrate that formation of either indoles or α-arylated products is depended on the nature of the polarized enaminone.
