Electrosynthesis: A Practical Way to Access Highly Reactive Intermediates

Abstract

AbstractElectrosynthesis is undergoing a renaissance, but it is still far from being considered a standard method within the chemists’ synthetic toolbox. In this article, we will demystify organic electrochemistry by reviewing some practical methodologies developed in our laboratory to prepare highly reactive synthetic intermediates.1 Introduction2 Acyloxy Radicals3 Orthoesters4 Isocyanates5 Isocyanides6 Diazo Compounds7 Conclusion
