Abstract
By merging electrocatalysis and nickel catalysis, a unified strategy has been successfully applied to achieve the decarboxylative cross-coupling of four types of α-oxocarboxylic acids and their derivatives with aryl trimethylammonium salts under mild conditions. Our strategy provides a practical way for preparing aryl ketones, amides, esters, or aldehydes.
