Electrochemical dearomative spirocyclization serves as a green and sustainable approach to convert the flat, two-dimension aromatic feedstock into the value-added three-dimension spirocyclic architectures. This review highlights the recent advances, emphasizes mechanistic discussions, and showcases synthetic applications of this emerging versatile and powerful transformation.
Keywords: continuous-flow electrolysis; dearomative; electrochemistry; natural products; spirocyclic compounds.
