Diethyl Phosphite Promoted Electrochemical Oxidation of Tetrahydroisoquinolines to 3,4-Dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones
Keyword(s):
A diethyl phosphite mediated electrochemical oxidation strategy for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones from tetrahydroisoquinolines under mild conditions has been developed. This protocol provides an environmentally friendly and simple way for the construction of C=O bonds in an undivided cell unit.
