Herein the first example of electrochemically enabled, NiCl2-catalyzed reductive decarboxylative coupling of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) esters with quinoxalinones is reported. A range of primary, secondary, tertiary aliphatic carboxylic acids and amino acid-derived esters were tolerated well. This decarboxylative coupling allows access to structurally diverse 3-alkylated quinoxalinones in up to 91%

We report a Minisci-type cross-dehydrogenative alkylation in an aerobic atmosphere using abundant and inexpensive cerium chloride as a photocatalyst and air as an oxidant. This photoreaction exhibits excellent tolerance to functional groups and is suitable for both heteroarene and alkane substrates under mild conditions, generating the corresponding products in moderate-to-good yields. Our method provides
