Two CO bonds formed in one step : The oxidative coupling reaction of acetophenones with alcohol was developed by a dioxygen activation to afford α‐ketoesters under electrochemical conditions. This novel transformation not only provides a simple and efficient approach to synthetize α‐ketoester derivatives, but also invents a new strategy to construct a CO bond by virtue of an anode oxidation (see scheme).
