Abstract

Nitrogen-centered radicals are versatile reactive intermediates for organic synthesis. This chapter describes recent progress in the electrochemical generation and reactions of nitrogen-centered radicals. Under electrochemical conditions, various nitrogen-centered radicals are generated through electrolysis of readily available precursors such as N—H bonds or azides. These reactive intermediates undergo addition reactions to π-systems or hydrogen-atom abstraction to generate various nitrogen-containing compounds.

Key words

organic electrochemistry - electrosynthesis - electrocatalysis - nitrogen-centered radicals - radical reactions - heterocycles - carbon—nitrogen bond formation - oxidation - cyclization
