Abstract

Reagent confinement: Lewis acid catalyzed reactions have been conducted on arrays with either 1024 or 12 544 microelectrodes cm-2. A Sc III species generated at the electrodes is employed as the Lewis acid, and the reagent is confined to the electrodes through the use of a solutionphase reductant. A multicomponent synthesis of a tetrahydropyran (see scheme), a Diels-Alder reaction, and an esterification reaction are all compatible with this strategy.
