Electrochemically Induced Regio‐ and Stereoselective ( E )‐β‐C(sp 2 )─H Alkoxycarbonylation of Enamides With Carbazates
Guisheng Chen, Yiyan Lin, Yucheng Yang, Ling Yang, Xiaolan Li, Xuzhong Luo, Haiqing LuoHerein, we disclosed an electrochemically induced alkoxycarbonylation of enamides with carbazates under metal‐free and peroxide‐free reaction conditions, which provided a green protocol for constructing enol esters, exhibiting excellent regioselectivity and mainly affording products in the E ‐configuration. Mechanistically, a free alkoxycarbonyl radical pathway was involved in this approach.
