Abstract
Oxidative
cross‐dehydrogenative
C−H/C−H
functionalizations
represent
an
exemplary
approach
for
synthesizing
carbonyl
compounds
via
α‐heteroarylation.
Here
we
present
the
development
of
a
direct
anodic
oxidative
coupling
process
between
2‐acylimidazoles
and
divergent
heterocyclic
systems
including
indole,
pyrrole,
furan,
facilitated
by
ferrocene‐assisted
asymmetric
nickel
electrocatalysis
with
high
levels
enantioselectivity.
Mechanistic
investigations
indicate
that
reaction
initially
involves
formation
chiral
Ni‐bound
α‐carbonyl
radical,
which
is
then
captured
heteroarene
radical
cation
intermolecular
stereoselective
radical/radical
coupling.
The
mild,
scalable,
robust
conditions
allow
broad
substrate
scope
excellent
functional
group
tolerance,
enabling
access
to
wide
range
hetero‐compounds.
consequential
α‐heteroaromatic
products
can
potentially
be
transformed
into

valuable
frameworks,
as
exemplified
their
application
in
