Challenges and opportunities on sustainable electrochemical transformations: application towards the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and precursors of drug-like molecules

Abstract

The pivotal role of electrochemistry has significantly improved the step economy of organic transformations, thereby surpassing conventional pathways. Sustainable electrochemical transformations enormously influenced the chemical synthesis and attracted significant attention towards pharmaceutical industries. More specifically, the electrochemical organic transformation streamlines the synthesis of a variety of drugs and precursors of drug-like molecules. This review summarised the electrochemical synthesis of more than 50 such drugs, therapeutic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and precursors of drug-like molecules, which were directly or indirectly synthesised over the period of 2017–2023.
