A new and efficient electrochemical ring opening of 7-oxanorbornene systems via a modified Ritter reaction: direct approach to bicyclic valienamine analogues

Electrogenerated acids (EGA), produced by controlled potential electrolysis in acetonitrile at a platinum electrode, permitted the oxa-ring opening and the acetamidation of the 7-oxanorbornene system of 4. It opens in one step a new route to bicyclic valienamine analogues 3.
