Abstract
An electroreduction-enabled aryl-to-alkyl radical relay arylation reaction of remote C(sp3)-H bond of 2-iodoalkylarenes is reported. This electrochemical strategy undergoes a 1,5-H transfer process, leading to various arylated products bearing all-carbon quaternary centers under transition-metal and ligand-free conditions. The aryl nitriles serve as both aryl radical precursors and redox mediators in this transformation.
