Abstract:
Titanium is an earth abundant metal with low toxicity that is able to form complexes that mediate a wide range of organic transformations in both polar and radical manifolds. In context of the latter, the use of Ti-catalysts in electrosynthesis is surprisingly underexplored, considering the great potential for electrochemical (re)-generation of low-valent and catalytically active species. To spur further innovation in the field, this Review provides an overview of the current literature and discusses the limitations and possibilities for electrochemically driven Ti-catalysis.
