We developed an electrochemically enabled dehydrogenative annulation reaction of amides and alkynes for the synthesis of antitumor polycyclic isoquinolinones through a double C-H activation route. No external oxidant is required in this reaction, and electricity is used for Ru catalyst circulation. The most remarkable feature of this reaction is the effective improvement of product regioselectivity under mild electrolytic conditions in comparison with previously set strong oxidant conditions.
