Abstract

A facile electrochemical alkylation reaction of buta-1,3-diene derivatives with alkyl halides has been developed, generating highly selective trans-olefins as major products. This method exhibits significant advantages, including simple operation, mild conditions, and convenience of scale-up, and provides a novel route for the synthesis of trans-olefins.
