Abstract

Abstract : We herein report an electrochemical oxidative C–H/N–H cross-coupling reaction in an undivided cell. Abstract : Under metal catalyst-free and exogenous-oxidant-free conditions, a series of C-3 aminated imidazo[1, 2- a ]pyridines were synthesized by electrochemical intermolecular oxidative C–H/N–H cross-coupling. Furthermore, by using a catalytic amount of ferrocene as the mediator, electrochemical intramolecular oxidative C–H/N–H cross-coupling for the synthesis of 10 H -benzo[4, 5]imidazo[1, 2- a ]indole derivatives has also been accomplished.
