Abstract
Abstract An environmentally benign and proficient electro‐oxidative tandem azidation‐radical cyclization strategy is reported. Manganese‐catalyzed electrochemical reaction in an undivided cell at room temperature and the use of NaN 3 as the cheapest azide source are the key features of this protocol. Using this approach, a series of oxindole and quinolinone derivatives are synthesized in high yields. The synthesized azide functionality was efficiently converted to various valuable derivatives.
