For example, we have performed the addition of an isocyanide to the electrogenerated benzylic carbocation. Most of the time, the cathodic counter-reaction such as the reduction of protons into hydrogen does not produce species reacting with the benzylic substrate. An attractive refinement of the electrochemical benzylic C(sp )-H functionalization would be to take advantage of the cathodic reduction to generate a nucleophilic intermediate that would add to the anodically oxidized benzylic substrate in a convergent paired-electrolysis process. In this context, we turned our attention to develop an electrochemical benzylic arylation using this concept to form the 1,1-biarylmethane motif 5 which can be found in several drugs or biologically active compounds such as diisopromine, fenpiprane, prozapine, fendilline, milverine, indatraline, sertraline and elvitegravir among others (Figure ).
