Authors: Ming Chen, Zheng-Jian Wu, Dr. Jinshuai Song, Prof. Dr. Hai-Chao Xu

Abstract: An electrocatalytic allylic C−H alkylation reaction with carbon nucleophiles is reported, which employs an easily available cobalt–salen complex as the molecular catalyst. The method is characterized by its excellent functional group tolerance, substrate compatibility with both linear and branched terminal alkenes, and scalability (up to 200 mmol scale) with a low loading of electrolyte (down to 0.05 equiv).
