Electrochemical low valent cobalt-catalyzed addition of aryl and vinyl chlorides to α-ketoamides via C–Cl bond activation

Abstract

The development of an electrochemical cobalt catalyzed C–Cl bond activation at room temperature for the nucleophilic addition of aryl and vinyl chlorides to α-ketoamides is described. The overall method operates through an electrochemically induced low valent cobalt catalyst that oxidatively adds to aryl or vinyl chlorides affording medicinally important 3-hydroxy oxindole and 3-hydroxypyrrolidinone scaffolds. The development of an enantioselective version using a chiral pyrox ligand is also demonstrated.
