Electrochemical Control of Scholl Reaction: Arenium Cation Versus Radical Cation Pathways

ABSTRACT The Scholl reaction is a cornerstone method for constructing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, yet its mechanism remains highly debated because arenium and radical cation intermediates are difficult to characterize. Herein, we demonstrate that electrochemical oxidation p...
