Popis: Herein, electrochemically driven, Rh(III)-catalyzed regioselective annulations of arenes with alkynes have been established. The strategy, combining the use of a rhodium catalyst with electricity, not only avoids the need for using a stoichiometric amount of external oxidant, but also ensures that the transformations proceed under mild and green conditions, which enable broad functional group compatibility with a variety of substrates, including drugs and pharmaceutical motifs. Moreover, the electrolysis reaction was made operationally simple by employing an undivided cell, and proceeds efficiently in aqueous solution in air.
