Electrochemical synthesis of 1,2-diketones from alkynes under transition-metal-catalyst-free conditions

Abstract

We report an electrochemical protocol for the direct oxidation of internal alkynes in air to provide 1,2-diketones. A variety of functional groups and heterocycle-containing substrates can be tolerated well under mild conditions.
