The heterodifunctionalization of alkenes is an efficient method for synthesizing highly functionalized organic molecules. In this report, we describe the use of anodically coupled electrolysis for the catalytic chloroalkylation of alkenes-a reaction that constructs vicinal C-C and C-Cl bonds in a single synthetic operation-from malononitriles or cyanoacetates and NaCl. Knowledge of the persistent radical effect guided the reaction design and development. A series of controlled experiments, inclu ...[more]
