As expected, product formation was negligible in the absence of electricity or light, highlighting the electrophotocatalytic nature of this transformation (Table , Entries 2-3). The removal of the iron catalyst, or its use in a stoichiometric amount but without current, triggered undesirable side reactions and resulted in decreased yields (Table , Entries 4-5). Reversing the stoichiometry of the starting materials, using 1a as the limiting reagent, resulted in comparable yields ( availability of the coupling partners. Increasing the applied current to 3 mA (1.5 mA•cm -2 ), to reduce reaction times, did not furnish better results (Table , Entry 7). Similarly, reducing the electron equivalents to 2.5 F•mol -1 , did not lead to full conversion of the starting material (Table , Entry 8). To further investigate alternative reaction conditions, we transitioned to a basic environment using 2,4,6collidine in CH₂Cl₂ ; however, these conditions proved not compatible with the desired transformation (Table ). with electron-withdrawing groups (e.g., chloro 3, fluoro 4-5, and trifluoromethyl 6), yielded the anticipated cross-coupled products in satisfactory to excellent yields (62-84%). Additionally, we successfully employed aldehydes with electron-rich (7, 52%) and neutral substituents (8, 58%). We also achieved effective functionalization of α-β unsaturated (11, 55%) and heteroaromatic aldehydes (9,10,12, 41-70%). Despite our attempts to further optimize the reaction to assess the functionalization of aliphatic aldehydes, the coupled products proved unstable both under the reaction conditions and during their isolation (Tables ).
