Abstract

An electrochemically intramolecular functionalization of C(sp³)-H bonds with masked oxygen nucleophiles provides diverse trisubstituted 2-oxazolines in good to excellent yields. This electrochemical dehydrogenative approach in the presence of KI as the catalyst and electrolyte features external oxidant-free conditions.
