Abstract
(Figure Presented) The treatment of an olefinic thioacetal with a catalytic amount of ArS(ArSSAr)-+B(C6F5) 4-, or the electrolysis of a mixture of an olefinic thioacetal and ArSSAr, gives rise to effective intramolecular carbon-carbon bond formation (see scheme). This transformation opens up great potential for electroinitiated cation chain reactions in organic synthesis.
