A selective anodic oxidation system in which a carbocation intermediate is generated exclusively by use of a temperature-control led multiphase solution to separate the different stages of the reaction from each other and from the products is described. The formation of a thermomorphic middle layer in an electrolytic solution composed of c-Hex and LPC/MeNO2 results in enhanced interaction between aliphatic alkenes and polar unstable cation.
Photocatalytic Cycloadditions Enabled by a Lithium Perchlorate/Nitromethane Electrolyte Solution
Photocatalytic cycloadditions involving carbon–carbon bond formation in the absence of an external sensitizer are described. The use of a lithium perchlorate/nitromethaneelectrolytesolution exhibiting remarkable Lewis acidity is the key for the successful transformations.
