title: Iron-mediated electrochemical reaction of alpha-chloroesters with carbonyl compounds.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Reformatsky-type reactions have been performed efficiently using an electroassisted iron-complex catalysis. Valuable product such as beta-hydroxyesters, ketones or nitriles are thus prepared with high yields.
