Warm congratulation on Wenyao Li's (李文耀) achievement on electrochemical cyclization of 2,3-allenols.

An efficient electrochemical bromocyclization of allenols has been realized for the synthesis of spirocyclic 2,5-dihydrofurans. The reaction used commercially available and nontoxic KBr as the brominating source in a simple setup under open-air conditions. Notably, optically active products can be obtained from optically active 2,3-allenols without any racemization, further enhancing the synthetic utility.
