Wide spread news of dramatic natural disasters has led to discussions about climate change and the need for urgent changes. There have already been responses which also reach out to the scientific community to contribute to the restriction of greenhouse gas emissions. The severe limitations of fossil resources intensify the movement towards sustainable synthesis techniques with a strict cutback in the ecological footprint.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit1"><sup><span class="sup_ref">1</span></sup></a> Thus, several techniques have arisen, and amongst them electro-organic synthesis is rising in popularity.<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit2"><sup><span class="sup_ref">2–7</span></sup></a> This methodology has re-emerged for synthetic organic chemists after being neglected for several decades, although this approach is common for inorganic transformations including industrial scale basic chemical production, like the chlor-alkali electrolysis and aluminium production by the Hall–Héroult process.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit8"><sup><span class="sup_ref">8</span></sup></a> Since Kolbe’s discoveries using electricity as a reagent for organic transformations over 170 years ago, this technique has not been accepted by the broad organic chemistry community, although less hazardous materials are being used.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit9"><sup><span class="sup_ref">9</span></sup></a> Therefore, several groups have shown interest and explored this subject to provide sufficient knowledge for further research. However, its broad application in organic synthesis is still low, although electro-organic transformations enable access to novel structures due to the unique reactivity and selectivity provided. Technical-scale electro-organic reactions, like the Baizer process carried out by Monsanto, have only rarely been performed since the 1970s.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit8"><sup><span class="sup_ref">8</span></sup></a></span> <p class="otherpara">The broader use of electro-organic transformations will gain increasing influence due to sustainable transformations when electricity is obtained from renewable resources like wind-, solar-, or hydropower. They could profit from the emerging energy surplus from these sources to serve as a feasible Power-to-X method for storage of abundant electricity in the production of valuable fine chemicals.<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit10"><sup><span class="sup_ref">10,11</span></sup></a> Electro-organic synthesis is involved in areas like electrocatalysis, redox-tags, the cation-pool method, bio-electrochemistry, and electro-organic synthesis in continuous flow.<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit3"><sup><span class="sup_ref">3,4,12</span></sup></a> These techniques have also gained significant interest from industry and open pathways for various novel developments. This perspective should provide insight into recent electro-organic methods and general trends in this field, and open up prospects for future viewpoints.</p> <h2 id="sect258"><span class="a_heading">Modes of operation</span></h2> <span>The application of electric current as a reagent in synthetic organic chemistry offers a vast variety of opportunities but many scientists are reluctant due to the essential adaptation of laboratories and ways of thinking with this technique. However, more and more literature is encouraging the use of this method and providing guidelines, showing the simplicity of this technique.<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit13"><sup><span class="sup_ref">13,14</span></sup></a> The versatile toolbox of electro-organic synthesis relies on the fundamental principles of redox reactions using electric current as the essential reagent. Oxidations will occur as anodic transformations, whereas reductive processes adding an electron to a substrate in a single electron transfer (SET) take place at the cathode. Thus, the electrodes represent crucial parameters for electro-organic conversions, which take place as heterogenous chemical reactions between a commonly solid electrode and a substrate in a liquid electrolyte system. This electrolyte system consists of a (electro-)chemically inert solvent and supporting electrolytes to facilitate sufficient electrical conductivity. This supporting electrolyte can be a salt, acid, or base and will contribute to the formation of an electrochemical double layer at the electrode surface. This underlines that the electrode and electrolyte system can be considered as a couple that determines the electrochemical features. Inert ions which are highly soluble in organic solvents, like tetraalkylammonium hexafluorophosphate or tetrafluoroborate, have shown versatile applications and excellent performance (<a title="Select to navigate to figure" href="#imgfig1">Fig. 1</a>). It is worth noting that the use of perchlorates is strongly discouraged since explosive events could occur through the precipitation of organic perchlorates. Further parameters which have a major influence on the electrolysis process are the applied charge which represents the number of equivalents of reagent, the current density which controls the speed of an electrochemical process, and temperature.</span> <br/><div class="image_table"><table><tr><td colspan="3" class="imgHolder" id="imgfig1"><a href="/image/article/2020/SC/d0sc01848a/d0sc01848a-f1_hi-res.gif" title="Select to open image in new window" onclick="open(this.href, "_blank", "toolbar=1,scrollbars=yes,resizable=1"); return false;"><img alt="image file: d0sc01848a-f1.tif" src="/image/article/2020/SC/d0sc01848a/d0sc01848a-f1.gif"/></a></td></tr><tr><td class="pushTitleRight"> </td><td class="image_title"><b>Fig. 1 </b> <span id="fig1"><span class="graphic_title">Modes of operation for electro-organic synthesis and electrochemical facts at a glance.

The most common inert electrode materials are noble metals like platinum or carbon allotropes such as low-cost graphite, glassy carbon, or the high-performance material boron-doped diamond (BDD). Novel conversions can be facilitated using active electrode materials to generate immobilized high-valent metal species which catalyse the electron transfer and are regenerated by the electric current. The layer acts as a redox filter to improve selectivity, as shown for Ni or Mo in fluorinated alcohols, NiOOH in alkaline media, or PbO<small><sub>2</sub></small> in acids.<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit15"><sup><span class="sup_ref">15,16</span></sup></a></p> <p class="otherpara">The appropriate design of devices used for electro-organic conversions offers various adjustments. Electrolysis can be performed in conventional laboratory glassware like beakers or round bottom flasks. Besides these self-made setups using standard batteries, some setups are commercially distributed like ElectraSyn and the more advanced screening and flow setups with controllable power sources sold by IKA®.<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit17"><sup><span class="sup_ref">17,18</span></sup></a> The application of flow electrolysis is of major importance for scaling up electrolysis for technical application and will be discussed throughout this perspective.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit19"><sup><span class="sup_ref">19</span></sup></a> Suitable undivided cells involve the parallel installation of planar electrodes to ensure a homogeneous electrical field without local potential hot spots leading to uncontrolled side reactions.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit7"><sup><span class="sup_ref">7</span></sup></a> A semipermeable membrane or porous glass frit is used in divided cells to separate the anolyte and catholyte to suppress non-desired diffusion to the counter electrode. This is necessary when the starting material, intermediates, and products are unstable towards the counter electrode. However, a “quick and dirty” but rather practical approach combining these characteristics is a quasi-divided cell. A undivided cell is used with electrodes with electrode surface areas of dramatically different sizes. The decreased surface area of the counter electrode results in an increased current density, thus elevating the electrode potential/driving force. The chemoselectivity of the electron transfer might be reduced, leading to a statistical preference for electrolyte degradation. However, the small electrode surface area of the counter electrode affects only a small quantity of electrolyte – approx. 5% is sacrificed in side reactions which favours recyclability (<a title="Select to navigate to figure" href="#imgfig1">Fig. 1</a>).<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit20"><sup><span class="sup_ref">20,21</span></sup></a></p> <p class="otherpara">Electrolysis can be performed galvanostatically with constant current using an easy and low-cost setup with equipment available in common hardware stores. This robust process facilitates the possibility of fast reactions and is of high interest for scale-up in organic synthesis or technical application. However, if the substrates are more sophisticated and lack of selectivity occurs, a three-electrode setup with constant potential can be used. This potentiostatic electrolysis offers selectivity towards the desired functionalities by controlling the applied potential but prolongs electrolysis times in an elaborated setup.</p> <p class="otherpara">A further approach for electro-organic conversion of sensitive substrates carrying labile functionalities deviates from conventional one-pot “in-cell” electrolysis with all chemicals present during electrolysis. The “ex-cell” approach generates reactive intermediates with electricity, and after completion, a substrate is added to react with the reactive species in a conventional manner.</p> <p class="otherpara">When specific reactivity is required which is difficult to address in sophisticated substrates, mediators can be used. Mediators are electrochemically generated reagents which promote reactions, shifting the heterogenous substrate redox reactions at the electrodes towards homogeneous electron transfers from the mediator to the substrate in solution.
