A series of acyclic and cyclic α,β-unsaturated esters bearing tethered mesylate leaving groups have been electrochemically reduced to give synthetically useful yields of monocyclic and bicyclic esters via attack of the β-carbon of the α,β-unsaturated ester on the carbon bearing the mesylated moiety.
