Key Points

The method achieves selective 1,4-dialkoxylation of 1,3-dienes under mild conditions, producing (E)-1,4-diethyl alkenes.
Using widely available alcohol as alkoxyl sources, the approach can modify various diene substrates effectively.
Direct electrolysis serves as the main technique for this transformation, enabling greater selectivity in the reaction process.
This electrochemical method supports greener synthetic strategies, calling for further explorations in related organic transformations.

Implication

This process demonstrates selective 1,4-dialkoxylation in 1,3-dienes using electrolysis, highlighting the use of common alcohols.

Abstract

A highly selective 1,4-dialkoxylation of dienes through direct electrolysis under mild reaction conditions has been developed. With widely available alcohol as alkoxyl sources, a variety of Z/E-mixture 1,3-dienes undergo dialkoxylation...
