REGIOSELECTIVITY IN ELECTROCHEMICAL ADDITIONS OF THE ALLYL GROUPS IN SUBSTITUTED ALLYL HALIDES TO α,β-UNSATURATED ESTERS OR ACETONE

Electrochemical addition of the allyl groups in substituted allyl halides to some α,β-unsaturated esters took place in a regioselective manner at either of their α-, or γ-carbon terminus, whereas regioselectivity in the addition to acetone was found to be controlled by changing a cathode material or an electrolytic potential.
