Abstract

The “ex-cell” approach to organic electrosynthesis has enabled important progression to be made in numerous systems. Separating out the electrochemical step from the subsequent chemical step means that substrate scopes can be expanded and a broader scope of reagents are more easily prepared. Moieties can be included that otherwise readily undergo single-electron transfer redox events at the electrode surface. We detail several examples of this, including those based on the ex-cell synthesis and use of bases, cations and hypervalent iodine reagents, among others.
