Samarium(ii)-electrocatalyzed chemoselective reductive alkoxylation of phthalimides

Abstract

The unprecedented samarium electrocatalyzed reductive alkoxylation of phthalimides in a single step is presented. Under mild conditions, using electrogenerated Sm(II) with TMSCl (trimethyl chlorosilane), N-substituted 3-alkoxyl isoindolin-1-ones are isolated in good to excellent yields with high functional group tolerance.
