The paper details an electrochemical method that couples olefins with benzotriazoles to form C(sp)-N bonds, enabling the synthesis of -vinyl benzotriazoles in moderate to good yields. BuNI functions as both an electrolyte and an iodine mediator, and the method does not require oxidants or metals. It is a highly atom-economical and clean reaction, with hydrogen as the sole byproduct.
