Abstract
-butyl)phenyl)amine, as an electrocatalyst for the synthesis of imidazopyridines and related N-heteroaromatic compounds through intramolecular [3 + 2] annulation. This metal-free electrocatalytic method provides straightforward access to the N-heteroaromatic compounds from readily available materials without the need for external chemical oxidants.
