Abstract

Synthetic organic electrochemistry is recognized as one of the most sustainable forms of redox chemistry that can enable a wide variety of useful transformations. In this study, readily prepared pyrolytic carbon electrodes are explored in several powerful rAP transformations as well as C–C and C–N bond forming reactions. Pyrolytic carbon provides an alternative to classic amorphous carbon-based materials that are either expensive or ill-suited to large-scale flow reactions.
