Synthetic Organic Electrochemistry: Calling All Engineers

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2018 Apr 9;57(16):4149-4155. doi: 10.1002/anie.201707584. Epub 2017 Nov 3.

Abstract

Unmet potential: Electrochemistry is the most simple and basic way of altering the redox-states of organic molecules. Despite extensive studies and its demonstrated promise, it has yet to take off in mainstream synthesis. The reason is due to engineering challenges in instrument design.

Keywords: electrochemistry; engineering; organic synthesis.
