Abstract

In the realm of synthetic organic chemistry, the environmentally friendly manipulation of small organic molecules has gained prominence. One particularly promising approach is electrochemical synthesis, which offers a green and sustainable alternative to using hazardous and toxic redox reagents. By harnessing electric current from renewable sources like sunlight or wind, electrochemical synthesis emerges as a viable replacement for conventional methods. This review article provides a comprehensive exploration of the electrochemical method, delving into its background and applications in synthesizing and transforming various small organic molecules, including sulfoximines, isoxazolines, benzimidazoles, and more. This review aims to shed light on the potential of electrochemical synthesis as a greener and more sustainable way of conducting organic transformations.
