Finally, a range of Lewis-basic heterocycles can be easily coupled (17j, 17k, 17l, 17o, 17p). This electrocatalytic method is uniformly superior to state-of-the-art photocatalytic conditions as benchmarked on substrates 17a, 17c, 17d, 17e, 17j, 17l, and 17q. An electron-deficient aryl bromide (18c) was also employed to demonstrate the satisfactory coupling efficiency. The strategy outlined herein is also applicable to other chiral scaffolds based on a-heteroatom substituted acids as exemplified with substrates 19-21. In these cases, 1,2-stereocontrol (rather than SRS) leads to uniformly high dr in the cross-coupling. Thus, it opens the door to a limitless range of structures containing aminoalcohols and chiral diols without recourse to conventional methods that lack modularity (chiral epoxide opening, aminohydroxylation, and dihydroxylation). This chemistry is easily scaled up as will be discussed in the next section. With regards to limitations, the cyclic acetal 22 could not be easily obtained as a single diastereomer. In accord with Seebach's studies, a RAE 23, regioisomeric variant of RAEs 10 and 11, led to low dr in the cross coupling presumably because the neighboring N-Boc group affects the ring conformation. Finally, 2,6-disubstitution (24), nitro groups (25), and substrates that were extremely electron donating (26) represent limitations of the aryl donor.
