An electrochemical perspective on the roles of ligands in the merger of transition-metal catalysis and electrochemistry

Abstract

The merger of transition-metal catalysis and electrochemistry has emerged as a very versatile and robust synthetic tool in organic synthesis. Like in their non-electrochemical variants, ligands also play crucial roles in fundamental reactions in transition-metal catalysis under electrochemical conditions. Herein, a perspective on the roles of ligands in transition-metal catalysis under electrochemical conditions is provided with selected transformations enabled by such a merger including C–H functionalization, difunctionalization of alkenes, cross-coupling reactions and carboxylation with CO2.
