Aryl Halides as Convenient Precursors of Electrogenerated Bases. Efficient Syntheses of β-Oxo Nitriles or Esters by Coupling Active-hydrogen Groups with Esters

In an undivided cell fitted with a sacrificial anode and a nickel cathode on which cadmium had been deposited, the electroreduction of aromatic halides affords a strong base which allows the effective synthesis of β-oxo nitriles or β-oxo esters from the coupling of active-hydrogen compounds with esters.
