Abstract

This work demonstrates that periodic oxidation and reduction of a catalyst by alternating current enable otherwise unfavorable catalytic cycles. Nickel catalyzed amination, etherification, and esterification were universally enabled by alternating current with yields and selectivity strongly exciding these in the experiments with direct current (DC).
