  1. aStandard conditions: Pt plate (1.0 × 1.0 cm2) anode and RVC cathode was used, I = 12 mA, 1a (0.20 mmol), 2 (0.15 mmol), KHF2 (0.60 mmol), nBu4NClO4 (0.05 M), MeCN (4 mL), at room temperature under N2 atmosphere for 3 h.
  2. bIsolated yields. DABSO: 1,4-Diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-disulphinate. Ag/Ag+ electrode was used as a reference electrode in CH3CN.
