Electrooxidative Formation of 1,2-Diaroylcyclopropanes from 1,3-Diaroylpropanes in the Presence of KI

Various 1,2-diaroylcyclopropanes were obtained in good yields by the indirect electrochemical oxidation of 1,3-diaroylpropanes in the presence of catalytic amounts of KI under very mild conditions.
