Electrochemical reduction of 2-allyl-substituted nitroarenes using a simple, undivided electrochemical cell with non-precious electrodes to generate nitroarene radical anions was developed. The nitroarene radical anion intermediates participate in 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer reactions to construct quinoline N-oxides bearing aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkenyl-, benzyl-, sulfonyl-, or carboxyl groups.
