Non-Transition-Metal-Mediated Electrochemical Oxidations of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones
Abstract
Abstract Given the central role of carbonyl compounds in chemical synthesis, considerable effort has been devoted to developing more sustainable and efficient methods for accessing aldehydes and ketones at both laboratory and industrial scales. In recent years electrochemical oxidations of alcohols have seen increased interest in academic settings as a method for removing the toxic and environmentally damaging reagents, such as transition-metal catalysts, found in classical alcohol oxidations. This graphical review aims to deliver a concise summary of the current synthetic electrochemical methods available and place them in the context of the traditional oxidations they aim to replace.
