“…12 The vision of decarbonization of the chemical industry must take into account the potentiality of organic electrosynthesis powered by renewable electricity, which surely represents an emerging sustainable alternative route to thermal processes for the production of value-added and fine chemicals. [13][14][15][16] Conventional synthetic processes are typically energy-intensive and suffer from CO 2 emissions, with consequent environmental issues related to the CO 2 greenhouse effect. At the same time, CO 2 is an attractive low-cost abundant carbon source and can be in principle used as a C1 feedstock or building block for the preparation of organic molecules.…”
Organic chemists have made and are still making enormous efforts toward the development of novel green catalytic synthesis. The necessity arises from the imperative of safeguarding human health and the...
“…Electrochemical reactions exploit the potential utility of electron transfer for the reduction of compounds at room temperature. 5 Electrochemical hydrogenation reactions are particularly interesting because they can utilize various hydrogen sources, including water, which makes the reaction considerably safer than reactions involving hydrogen gas. 6 However, several possible side reactions need to be considered in the electrochemical reduction of esters.…”
Arguably, water is an ideal hydrogen source for reduction reactions, however with significant difficulties in practice. In this work, water was utilized as a hydrogen source for the electrochemical reduction...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
