As alcohols are ubiquitous throughout chemical science, this functional group represents a highly attractive starting material for forging new C–C bonds. Here, we demonstrate that the combination of anodic preparation alkoxy triphenylphosphonium ion and nickel-catalyzed cathodic reductive cross-coupling provides an efficient method to construct C(sp2)–C(sp3) bonds, in which free aryl bromides—both readily available chemicals—can be directly used as coupling partners.
