Popis: Electrolysis of aldehydes, barbituric acids, and malononitrile in alcohol in an undivided cell in the presence of sodium bromide results in efficient MHIRC formation of the corresponding spirocyclopropylbarbiturates in 50–65% substance yield. The electrocatalytic reaction smoothly proceeds under neutral and mild conditions with aromatic aldehydes bearing both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups. The implication of electrocatalysis in MHIRC reaction is an efficient approach to medicinally relevant spirocyclopropylbarbiturates avoiding the inconvenient direct use of molecular halogen or halogenated substrates.
