Abstrakt: Herein we report an electrochemical deconstructive functionalization approach for the synthesis of C(sp 3 )-rich heterocycles. The reaction proceeds via the mesolytic cleavage of anodically generated aromatic radical cations and the trapping of formed carbocation intermediates with internal nucleophiles. The method has been demonstrated across various arylalcohol substrates to access a diverse range of C(sp 3 )-rich heterocycles including tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, and pyrrolidine scaffolds (26 examples). The electrochemical method was demonstrated on a 5 mmol scale via single pass continuous flow, which utilized lower supporting electrolyte concentration and exhibited increased productivity in relation to the batch process.
