Palladium-catalyzed C–H activation/C–C cross-coupling reactions via electrochemistry

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed C–H activation/C–C cross-coupling reactions typically require stoichiometric chemical oxidants and exogenous ligands. However, there are significant disadvantages associated with the use of traditional stoichiometric oxidants. To overcome these issues, we have developed an electrochemical strategy to achieve methylation and acylation.
