Spiers Memorial Lecture: Old but new organic electrosynthesis: history and recent remarkable developments

Abstract

Organic electrosynthesis has a long history. However, this chemistry is still new. Recently, we have seen its second renaissance with organic electrosynthesis being considered a typical green chemistry process. Therefore, a number of novel electrosynthetic methodologies have recently been developed. However, there are still many problems to be solved from a green and sustainable viewpoint. After an explanation of the historical survey of organic electrosynthesis, this paper focuses on recent remarkable developments in new electrosynthetic methodologies, such as novel electrodes, recyclable nonvolatile electrolytic solvents and recyclable supporting electrolytes, as well as new types of electrolytic flow cells. Furthermore, novel types of organic electrosynthetic reactions will be mentioned.
