S. Donnelly et al., ELECTROCHEMICALLY INDUCED RADICAL CYCLIZATION REACTIONS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (18), 1994, pp. 2171-2172
A new route has been devised for intramolecular aryl radical cyclizati
on reactions involving the electrochemical reduction of an ortho-halog
enophenyl compound in acetonitrile at a mild steel cathode.
