  • Enantioselective introduction of two different carbon-based functional groups in a single step using readily accessible and inexpensive starting materials presents a significant challenge. Here the authors report an electrochemical copper-catalyzed protocol for the asymmetric cyanoesterification of vinylarenes using commercially available alkyl carbazates and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) as the sources of ester and cyano groups, respectively.

  • The development of robust, practical, and chemoselective methods for introducing the difluoromethyl (CF₂H) group into organic molecules is highly sought after in the fields of pharmaceutical and agrochemical design. Herein, the authors report a Fe/Ni dual-transition-metal electrocatalytic strategy for difluoromethylation of (hetero)aryl halides, using difluoroacetate — the most abundant source of the CF₂H group — as an effective difluoromethylating reagent.

  • A general method for the enantioselective hydrocyanation of alkenes has been a long-standing synthetic challenge. Now, using a dual electrocatalytic approach that combines two synergistic redox catalytic cycles, a wide variety of chiral nitriles can be synthesized from conjugated alkenes in high enantioselectivity.

  • 1,2-diamines are commonly found in pharmaceutically relevant compounds. They can be prepared from diazides. This protocol describes an electrocatalytic method for preparing a wide range of diazides from alkenes, using a manganese catalyst.
