1,2-Amino alcohols are omnipresent in bioactive molecules. Conventional approaches to this motif require multistep reactions. Herein, we develop an electrochemical strategy for copper-catalyzed convergent paired electrolysis. By selectively cleaving the C-N bond of 2-aryl-1-tosylaziridines with electron-deficient aromatics as aryl source, 1,2-amino tertiary alcohol scaffold is rapidly constructed. This method features mild reaction conditions, large-scale preparation, and a lack sacrificial electrodes. Experimental studies DFT calculations indicate that tends toward radical cross-coupling.
