Well, no more reductive electrochemistry with TBA salts peeps: "The reduction potential of nBu4NI (red) was observed
at -0.804 V, indicating that nBu4NI could be reduced on the
electrode." Incredible... the paper is peer-reviewed and published in a recognized journal...

Electrochemically assisted deprotection of acetals, ketals, and dithioacetals under neutral conditions Electroorganic synthesis (EOS) enables unattainable molecular transformations that cannot be achieved through conventional acid/base or thermal reactions to be realized by exploiting molecular redox c...

I'd say the best way to use RVC is not to use RVC at all 😆

Electrochemically assisted Friedlander reaction: a highly efficient and sustainable method for quinoline synthesis The Friedländer reaction is a well-established method for quinoline synthesis. However, it has significant limitations, including long reaction times, the use of environmentally harmful solvents and r...

Dear Kevin, Dear Hamid, you've got a typo at your graphical abstract! "Spot it!" he-he 😜https://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2025/GC/D5GC00330J
Otherwise, congratulations on a nice chemistry your-made working :)

Depends on supplier (what are the admixtures) and what is GB used for. Org.chem. GBs inside are so heavily contaminated with random chemicals, that so dirty Cu-cat is ok to regenerate with ind.grade mixture. If GB is clean like room for semiconductors, uhp might be your all-time friend.

In‐Situ Electrolyte for Electrosynthesis: Scalable Anodically‐Enabled One‐Pot Sequence from Aldehyde to Isoxazol(in)es A straightforward transition-metal-free one-pot electrochemical synthetic strategy, involving “in-situ electrolyte” generation, was developed. The concept of “in-situ electrolyte” for electrochemical...

Preparation of reactants often includes neutralization step, as it is for aldoxime synthesis: R-CHO + NH2OH*HCl + a Base. Instead of work-up, such enough-conductive reaction mix can be used directly for anodic generation of nitrile oxides: chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Solution-based Cu+ transient species mediate the reconstruction of copper electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction - Nature Catalysis The reconstruction of Cu electrocatalysts during CO2 reduction is an impediment to the stability of this technology, yet a clear picture of the species involved in this process remains elusive. Here, ...

To those who works on nano-defined Cu-catalysts for CO2RR: Have you ever wondered why your beautiful nanoparticles turns into pumpkin after a midnight🤔? Because Cu dissolves and redeposits, that's why! Teams of Buonsanti, Lopéz, and Cherevko have figured it out here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

That reminds me my childhood hobby to solder out any random part of old radio (capacitor, resistor or transistor) and test whether it is still working, if not - place back, if yes - move to another one, at the end it was half parts gone but the radio was still operational 🤷‍♂️😆

Whoa, "punk's not dead" indeed, it's just fossilized! 😄

Not only it shall be not forgotten, but also expanded further ! Look how it's done electrochemically by Sun et. al. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... 🙃Notably, unsubstituted styrenes do not rearrange and form azido-ketones instead (ring-effects on radical stabilization?) I wonder how scalable it is?🤔
