Abstract
The nickel-catalysed electrochemical cross-coupling of acid chlorides and alkyl or aryl halides in acetonitrile affords unsymmetric ketones in good to high yields. The reaction can be performed under very simple and mild conditions in a diaphragmless cell. A zinc rod as the sacrificial anode has been found to be the most efficient.
