efficient and convenient nitrogenation strategy involving CCbondcleavage for the straightforward synthesis of versatile arylamines is presented. Various alkyl azides and alkylarenes, including the common industrial by‐product cumene, react using this protocol. Moreover, this method provides a potential strategy for the degradation of polystyrene.
In contrast to the recent breakthrough in electrochemical C–H aminations, the electrochemicallyoxidative C–N bondformation through a C–C bond cleavage is rarely studied. This work describes an electrochemical C–C amination of alkylarenes for the efficient synthesis of versatile anilines, as well as carbonyl compounds. With the cheap and durable graphite plates as electrodes, and in a simple undivided
