Organo-mediators facilitate electrochemical synthesis via outer-sphere electron transfer, offering enhanced selectivity and avoiding metal residues. These mediators are crucial for advanced synthetic chemistry, especially in pharmacochemistry.

Area of Science:

  • Synthetic Organic Chemistry
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Electrochemistry offers a powerful approach for redox transformations in chemical synthesis.
  • Organo-mediators facilitate electrochemical reactions through outer-sphere electron transfer (ET).
  • These mediators provide advantages over direct electrolysis, including availability, ease of modification, and simple post-processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advancements in organo-mediator enabled electrochemical transformations over the past two decades.
  • To highlight the benefits of organo-mediators in electrosynthesis, such as preventing overoxidation/reduction and electrode passivation.
  • To emphasize the potential of organo-mediators in synthetic chemistry, particularly pharmacochemistry, due to minimized metal residues.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on organo-mediator enabled electrochemical reactions.
