We have developed an electrochemically driven strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of protected <i>syn</i>-1,2-diols from vinylarenes with <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylformamide (DMF). The newly developed system obviates the need for transition metal catalysts or external oxidizing agents, thus providing an operationally simple and efficient route to an array of protected <i>syn</i>-1,2-diols in a single step. This reaction proceeds <i>via</i> an electrooxidation of olefin, followed by a nucl ...[more]
