Herein, we describe a novel electrochemical amidation/C-H chlorination cascade approach developed for simple undivided cell setups (Scheme 1), which can be used to access a wide range of halogenated N-aryl amide, carbamate and urea products. With this method, aromatic amines are first reacted with either acid chlorides or chloroformates in dimethylacetamide (DMA) to form the corresponding amide, carbamate or urea compounds, which are subsequently C-H chlorinated at the more electron-rich aromatic amine ring by the chloride ions liberated in the first acylation step. Furthermore, as the protons released from the acylation step are reduced to hydrogen (H2) at the cathode, no additional base is needed for proton scavenging.
