Electrochemical Non‐Directed Arene C−H Amination

Abstract

AbstractElectrosynthesis represents a dynamic field in organic chemistry for the development of important and selective reactions. Among the most interesting electrosynthetic transformations is the non‐directed arene C−H amination. Despite increasing reports, the quest for a non‐directed electrochemical arene C−H amination capable of accommodating a wide range of arenes and amines with high site‐selectivity remains ongoing. Non‐directed electrochemical C−H amination presents a metal‐free, mild approach for synthesizing complex aminated compounds of interest in pharmaceuticals and natural products. This concept aims to introduce the concept of non‐directed electrochemical C−H amination and provide an overview of the recent advances in the field as well as the current limitations and potential directions.
