Organic electrochemistry as a tool for synthesis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The synthetic utility of organic chemistry was described as a tool for synthesis. Electrochemistry was found to be an ideal tool for reversing the polarity of known functional groups and triggering umpolung reactions. It was concluded that the ensuing reactive intermediates can be trapped to complete reactions that involved the net coupling of either two electrophiles or two nucleophiles.
