Electrochemical Vinylation of Aryl Halides using Vinylic Acetates

3 Electrochemical Vinylation of Aryl Halides using Vinylic Acetates 

The reaction is particularly efficient with aryl chlorides activated by the presence of an electron-withdrawing group on the aromatic nucleus. This simple procedure appears to be a mild and useful method for the synthesis of various vinyl-aryl compounds. Moreover, the presence of an ortho substituent strongly affects

This uses basically the same conditions, in the absence of 2,2 -bipyridine, as described previously for the electrochemical vinylation of aryl halides using vinylic acetates (Scheme 15.16) [28].
