Cathodic reduction efficiently cleaved N–O bonds. The simple cathodic reduction of Weinreb amides in a divided cell afforded the corresponding amide in good yields. Cyclic voltammetry experiments and density functional theory calculations suggested that the direct reduction of the N-methoxy amide generates the methoxy radical and amide anion. The release of methanol derived from methoxy radical would be the driving force of the N–O bond cleavage.
