β,γ-Unsaturated esters are obtained in moderate to good yields by a one-step electrochemical procedure from α-chloroesters and aryl or vinyl halides; a sacrificial aluminium anode, dimethylformamide as solvent, and a catalytic amount of nickel bromide-2,2'-bipyridine complex are used.

The electrochemical reduction of a mixture of aryl halides and activated alkyl halides in DMF in the presence of catalytic amount of NiBr2bipy leads to cross-coupling products in good to high yields. The method applies to the synthesis of α-aryl ketones, α-aryl esters, and allylated compounds from readily available organic halides. Optimization of the process has been obtained by slowly adding the most reactive organic halide (usually the activated alkyl halide) during the electrolysis which is best conducted at 70 °C when aryl bromides are involved.
