An efficient chalcogenative annulation strategy for constructing functionalized saturated N-heterocycles from unactivated alkenes with dichalcogenides under electrochemical conditions has been presented. This protocol is applicable to mono-, di- or tri-substituted alkenes, providing a straightforward pathway to aziridines, azetidines, pyrrolidines, and piperidines with high regioselectivity. Moreover, the strategy is qualified to realize the oxychalcogenation of alkenes as well.
