An electrochemical On-Off method for phenolic ester synthesis from N-alkoxyamides has been reported. This one-pot protocol begins with rapid and selective electrodimerization of the amide using n-Bu4NI (TBAI) as an electrocatalyst. The reaction proceeds further in the absence of current via Zn catalyzed C?N bond activation of the amide dimer followed by its coupling with phenol to form the ester. The present methodology is ligand-free and takes place under mild reaction conditions. This transformation incorporates a wide variety of phenols and amide substrates leading to the formation of functionalized esters highlighting its versatility. (Figure presented.).
