Fig. 4 |. Electrochemical tuning of reaction chemoselectivity and comparison with chemical methods.

Fig. 4 |

a, Chemoselectivity thus product yield is easily improved by controlling applied potential, minimizing ketone and formate byproducts formed from overoxidation of electron-rich substrates. aDetermined by 1H NMR. bIsolated yield. b, Comparison with common chemical oxidants shows that electrochemical method is superior to traditional chemical oxidants. The ability to provide minimal oxidation power in electrochemical method suppresses overoxidation which results in byproducts or racemic carbocation pathway. cNot determined.
