Summary: A nickela-electrocatalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl aziridines and aryl bromides has been developed to access synthetic useful beta-arylethylamines under mild and sustainable electrochemical conditions. This protocol exhibits excellent chemo- and regioselectivity, broad substrate scope, and good functional group compatibility. Mechanistic studies have confirmed that the observed regioselectivity and reactivity are due to the electro-induced ring-opening of aziridines to generate a benzyl radical intermediate as the active species. Furthermore, this strategy enables the cross-coupling with CO2 to access beta-amino acids under mild conditions.

Summary: The Sonogashira reaction is a key cross-coupling reaction in organic synthesis, forming a C-C bond between a vinyl or aryl halide and a terminal alkyne. While traditionally requiring copper and phosphines or amines as co-catalysts and bases, recent developments have enabled the reaction to proceed without these components. This advancement could promote the principles of green chemistry and enhance the economic feasibility of the reaction.
