Abstract

-nitrophenols and alcohols in an undivided cell. This electrocatalytic reaction makes full use of both anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction, obviating the requirement for metal catalysts or chemical oxidants. Mechanistic investigations including control experiments and cyclic voltammetry suggest an intermolecular electrochemical redox/cyclization pathway.
