para-selective C(sp2)–H alkylation of electron-deficient arenes based on the electroreduction-enabled radical addition of alkyl bromides has been developed under mild conditions. In the absence of any metals and redox agents, the simple electrolysis system tolerates a variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl bromides and behaves as an important complement to the directed alkylation of the C(sp2)–H bond
alkylation of aromaticketones with alkanes has been developed using a nickel catalyst with oxamide as the ligand. Acetophenones bearing electron-withdrawing substituents were functionalized directly with simple alkanes with high para-selectivity while acetophenones with electron-donating groups were mainly para-functionalized. A mechanistic study indicated that C-H bond activation of the aromatic ring may
