report a green and sustainable electrochemical strategy for α-alkylation of tertiary amines with halogenated alkanes under undivided electrolytic conditions. A Barbier–Grignard-type reaction at the cathode produces an organozinc reagent that reacts with an iminium ion produced at the anode to provide the α-alkylated amine. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with wide-ranging functional-group
Isochromanone is the core structure of many bioactive compounds. Direct oxidation of isochromans is one of leading methods for the construction of isochromanones, while most established processes remain suffering from the use of environmentally unfriendly metal oxidants, harsh reaction conditions, and the difficulty in catalyst recycling and product separation. Herein, we report a convenient, cost-effective

A series of isochromans were oxidized and brominated by using 1.2 equiv of CuBr2 in CH3CN at reflux to give the corresponding bromo benzaldehydes in moderate yields. A plausible mechanism for this transformation has been suggested. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
