Electrochemical Oxidative Cross-Coupling with Hydrogen Evolution Reactions

ConspectusOxidative cross-coupling has proved to be one of the most straightforward strategies for forming carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds from easily available precursors. Over the past two decades, tremendous efforts have been devoted in this field and significant advances have been achieved. However, in order to remove the surplus electrons from substrates for chemical bonds formation, stoichiometric oxidants are usually needed. Along with the development of modern sustainable chemistry, considerable efforts have been devoted to perform the oxidative cross-coupling reactions under external-oxidant-free conditions. Electrochemical synthesis is a powerful and environmentally benign approach, which…
