Rhodaelectro-catalyzed chemo-divergent C–H activations with alkylidenecyclopropanes for selective cyclopropylations

Abstract

Herein, we report on selectivity control in C–H activations with alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) for the chemo-selective assembly of cyclopropanes or dienes. Thus, unprecedented rhodaelectro-catalyzed C–H activations were realized with diversely decorated ACPs with a wide substrate scope and electricity as the sole oxidant.
