A practical method for the asymmetric transferhydrogenation of α‐substituted ketones was developed utilizing oxo‐tethered N‐sulfonyldiamine‐ruthenium complexes. Reduction by HCO2H and HCO2K in a mixed solvent of EtOAc/H2O allowed for the selective synthesis of halohydrins from 2‐bromoacetophenone (98%) and 2‐chloroacetophenone (>99%), leading to suppressed undesired side reactions stemming from formylation

vinylarenes with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The newly developed system obviates the need for transition metal catalysts or external oxidizing agents, thus providing an operationally simple and efficient route to an array of protected syn-1,2-diols in a single step. This reaction proceeds via an electrooxidation of olefin, followed by a nucleophilicattack of DMF. Subsequent oxidation and nucleophilic capture

A highly efficient electrocatalytic 1,2-dioxygenation of alkenes utilizing readily available materials in ambient conditions is developed. The protocol is widely applicable to aliphatic and aromatic alkenes with excellent faradaic efficiencies and yields of up to 96 %. The versatility of the method is expanded with alkenoic acids towards lactone derivatives and with other carboxylic acids like HCOOH
