Abstract

The use of electricity as an inexpensive and waste-free oxidant opens up new opportunities for the development of sustainable C–H functionalization reactions. Herein we summarize recent advances in the synthesis of biaryls through electrooxidative processes involving transition-metal-catalyzed ortho-directed C–H activation. A particular focus is set on electrooxidative C–H/C–M couplings and dehydrogenative couplings.
