Flow electrochemical oxidative cyclisation for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds

Abstract

Organic electrochemistry has gained interest among the chemist community due to its unique reactivities that are not achievable through conventional organic synthesis. Electrochemical synthesis offers a green and atom-efficient approach for achieving selective redox transformations by employing electrons as reagents. In electrochemistry, flow microreactors have been used extensively to improve reaction productivity and overcome the limitations commonly associated with batch electrochemical cells. This work outlines the electrosynthesis of heterocyclic compounds using the Ion electrochemical microreactor.
