Abstract

Organic ElectroChemistry（OEC） is an interdiscipline of Organic Chemistry and Electrochemical Technology. Compared with conventional chemical synthesis, organic electrosynthesis eliminates the utilization of toxic and / or dangerous redox reagents and proceeds under mild conditions with higher reaction selectivity, thereby has been widely used in synthesis of fine chemicals of drug, flavor, dyes and synthetic fibers. With the increasing concern of environmental problems, increasing attention has been paid to organic electrosynthesis. In the electrochemical oxidation and reduction processes, electron is used as a reagent to remove from and add to the substrates. Without utilization of stoichiometric chemical reagents and without generating the associated waste products, organic electrochemistry in nature is regarded as the “green and sustainable” chemistry.
