Abstract

Herein, we present a detailed kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of the anodic allylic esterification of alkenes as well as the bulk application of the anodic amination and esterification of nonactivated alkenes catalyzed by diselenides. The electrochemical study led to a comprehensive picture of the coupled electrochemical and chemical reaction steps. Cyclic voltammetry measurements are consistent with a bimolecular step after initial electrochemical 1e
