Catalyst-free electrochemical decarboxylative cross-coupling of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters and N-heteroarenes towards C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond formation

) coupling of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters and N-heteroarenes without any catalysts. Remarkably, this electrochemical protocol can not only be directly realised by carboxylic acids in a one-pot fashion, but also be scaled up using a continuous-flow reactor.
