Electrochemical Access to Aza‐Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Rhoda‐Electrocatalyzed Domino Alkyne Annulations

Abstract: Nitrogen‐doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (aza‐PAHs) have found broad applications in material sciences. Herein, a modular electrochemical synthesis of aza‐PAHs was developed via a rhodium‐catalyzed cascade C−H activation and alkyne annulation. A multifunctional O‐methylamidoxime enabled the high chemo‐ and regioselectivity. The isolation of two key rhodacyclic intermediates made it possible to delineate the exact order of three C−H activation steps. In addition, the metalla‐electrocatalyzed multiple C−H transformation is characterized by unique functional group tolerance, including highly reactive iodo and azido groups.
