| Abstract: | Solvent‐ and supporting electrolyte‐free electrolysis in a two‐compartment cell proved to be effective for the direct electroactivation of C H acid‐containing compounds vs. catalytic addition processes. Michael adducts (including quaternary carbon centres) and 2‐nitroalkanols were obtained in very good yields and selectivity on application of a catalytic amount of electricity under galvanostatic conditions. |
