Abstract
combining bipolar electrochemistry with nanoelectrospray ionization in a hybrid ultramicroelectrode/ion emitter. The key reactive intermediates involved in the C-O/O-H cross-metathesis between 4-alkoxy anilines and alcohols were successfully captured and identified for the first time, providing direct evidence for the previously proposed mechanism.
