Organic electrosynthesis amps up the potential for synthetic innovation, while technological advances decrease the resistance for entry into this electrifying field

By Matthew Hartle, Ph.D.

Abstract

Organic electrochemistry is an area that is receiving more attention as chemists face pressures to synthesize more complex molecular targets in a more efficient fashion. The pressure comes from many corners including a desire to develop processes that are greener and more sustainable while producing significantly fewer toxic wastes and a reduction in manufacturing costs. It helps that many electrochemical processes are safer to operate and can be inherently linked to renewable energies. While innovations in beaker-scale electrolysis1 have opened the field to the typical organic bench chemist, a technology gap exists for scaling the reactions to the production level.2 Here we review several recent organic transformations that could either scale to larger flow-cell type systems or require further optimization in parallel with scale-up, as examples where the technology gap could be bridged. The Electrosynthesis Company is well-positioned to bridge the gap that exists between the bench and commercialization.
