Abstract

Abstract : A catalyst-free and oxidant-free C–H arylation of xanthenes and thioxanthenes using electrochemistry has been developed, which affords a number of cross-coupling products in moderate to good yields. Abstract : A catalyst-free and oxidant-free C–H arylation of xanthenes and thioxanthenes using electrochemistry has been developed, which affords a number of cross-coupling products in moderate to good yields. This method is atom- and step-economical as it uses cheap and easily available arenes and heteroarenes as partners directly and the C(sp 2 )–H/C(sp 3 )–H type cross-coupling reaction.
