Abstract
Synergistic use of electrochemistry and organometallic catalysis enables a site-selective vinylic C-H functionalization of acrylic acids with alkynes affording α-pyrones with very good yields in an undivided cell. Importantly, common chemical oxidants such as Ag(I) or Cu(II) did not give significant amounts of the desired product in the absence of electrical current under otherwise identical conditions.
