Jh. Choi et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL ALKYL TRANSFER-REACTIONS OF TRIALKYLBORANE TO CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS BY USE OF COPPER SACRIFICIAL ANODE, Tetrahedron letters, 39(27), 1998, pp. 4835-4838
Alkyl groups in trialkylboranes were successfully transferred to carbo
nyl compounds in the presence of the platinum cathode and copper anode
by electrochemical method. The new, mild electrochemical alkyl transf
er reaction produced various substituted alcohols in good yields. (C)
