A New Anodic C–N Bond Forming Reaction Useful to Formation of Aziridine, Azetidine, and Pyrrolidine Rings

Abstract Aziridine, azetidine, and pyrrolidine rings were formed in high yields by anodic oxidation of the corresponding dimethyl α-(ω-tosylaminoalkyl)malonates in methanol containing KI as a mediator.
