Electrochemical cyclisation of methyl cinnamate with dielectrophiles has been improved by the presence of an aluminum salt which was pre-formed in situ by the electrolysis of a carboxylic acid with a sacrificial aluminum anode. High yields of three, five and six-membered cyclic products have been obtained in the reactions of methyl cinnamate with dichloromethane, 1,3-dibromopropane, and 1,4-dibromobutane.
