Organoselenium Catalyzed Electrochemical Cascade Cyclization: An Access to Naphthofuran‐2‐carboxaldehyde

We have developed an approach for the construction of naphthofuran‐2‐carboxaldehyde derivatives utilizing the synergy of electrochemical oxidation and organo‐selenium catalysis at room temperature. The compatibility of various functional groups and scalability of this protocol demonstrate the practicality of the electrochemical strategy. The synthetic utility of this strategy is furthermore demonstrated by synthesizing diversified molecules through downstream transformations.
