Biaryl Synthesis via Electrooxidative Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Activation

^‡ Evonik Chair of Organic Chemistry

Abstract

The use of electricity as an inexpensive and waste-free oxidant opens up new opportunities for the development of sustainable C–H functionalization reactions. Herein we summarize recent advances in the synthesis of biaryls through electrooxidative processes involving transition-metal-catalyzed ortho-directed C–H activation. A particular focus is set on electrooxidative C–H/C–M couplings and dehydrogenative couplings.

1 Introduction

2 Electrooxidative C–H/C–M Couplings

4 Conclusion and Outlook

Key words
