Abstract

Recently, organic electrochemical synthesis has emerged as the most important and attractive method to construct carbon-carbon bond and carbon-heteroatom bonds in organic synthetic chemistry. This review mainly summarizes the electrochemical syntheses at present, especially focused on the recent progresses in our research group using an iodine radical as a mediator to promote α-C?H bond functionalization. The organic electrosynthesis provides an alternative approach and a new research direction in the development of green organic synthesis.
