Abstract

Given the central role of carbonyl compounds in chemical synthesis, considerable effort has been devoted to developing more sustainable and efficient methods for accessing aldehydes and ketones at both laboratory and industrial scales. In recent years electrochemical oxidations of alcohols have seen increased interest in academic settings as a method to removing the toxic and environmentally damaging reagents, such as transition metal catalysts, found in classical alcohol oxidations. This review aims to deliver a concise summary of the current synthetic electrochemical methods available and place them in context of the traditional oxidations they aim to replace.
