Abstract
Electrosynthesis is undergoing a renaissance, but it is still far from being considered a standard method within the chemists’ synthetic toolbox. In this article, we will demystify organic electrochemistry by reviewing some practical methodologies developed in our laboratory to prepare highly reactive synthetic intermediates.
