Alkene reactions with superoxide radical anions in flow electrochemistry

Added on:

Alkenes were cleaved to ketones by using dioxygen in a flow electrochemical set-up. The pressurised system allowed efficient gas-liquid mixing with a stabilised flow. This mild and straightforward approach avoids the use of transition metals and harsh oxidants.
