Abstract
The γ-butyrolactone formation by umpolung of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was catalyzed, in ionic liquids, by electrogenerated N-heterocyclic carbenes. The ionic liquids were used in the double role of pre-catalysts and solvents.
Research Highlights► Electrosynthesis of γ-butyrolactones in ionic liquids. ► Electrogenerated N-heterocyclic carbenes as organocatalysts. ► Ionic liquids in the double role of pre-catalysts and solvents.
