Instead of screening reaction conditions by yield-based chemical trial-and-error, potential-based cyclic voltammetry was alternatively employed for optimization of electrochemical oxychlorination of alkenes. With this unconventional screening method, the catalyst system including catalysts, molar ratio of chloride sources and solvents were identified in a rational, time- and energy-efficient manner. The optimal catalytic system in combination with oxygen reduction reaction enabled broad substrate scopes for the desired transformation by taking advantages of persistent radical effect. UV-vis and CV titration experiments confirmed the in-situ formed catalytic species [CoCl5]. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry was applied to obtain mechanistic insights in our reaction system.

The use of large amounts of volatile organic solvents in industrial chemical processes contributes to widespread environmental pollution. To help solve this problem, water and a phase transfer catalyst were used to replace organic solvents in the transformations of bromoacetophenones into chloroacetophenones and aroyl epoxides into aroyl chlorohydrins. The reactions were promoted by sulfonyl chlorides and gave quantitative or close to quantitative yields. Notably, chromatographic purification, which is laborious and consumes large amounts of organic solvents, was not needed. These two processes have opened a green and cost-effective channel to prepare the chemical intermediates chloroacetophenones and aroyl chlorohydrins. The reaction mechanisms are discussed based on control experiments.
