Nickel-catalyzed electrochemical Minisci acylation of aromatic N-heterocycles with α-keto acids via ligand-to-metal electron transfer pathway

[Display omitted] •The first example of Ni-catalyzed Minisci acylation reaction was developed.•This protocol avoids using external chemical oxidants.•A ligand-to-metal electron transfer process was observed. A nickel-catalyzed electrochemical methodology for the Minisci acylation of aromatic electro...
