Abstract
An improved procedure for the electrochemical radical cyclization of 2-bromoethyl 2-alkynyl ethers has been developed by the combined use of chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime(III) and a zinc plate as a sacrificial anode in an undivided cell. The reaction is feasible with 5 mol% of the cobalt catalyst and applicable to a variety of bromo acetals under neutral conditions.
