Organic electrosynthesis: a promising green methodology in organic chemistry

Over the past decade, organic electrolytic synthesis has been recognized as one of the ways to meet several important criteria necessary for socially compatible environmental processes. It is an alternative to toxic or harmful oxidizing or reducing agents, to reduce energy consumption, and to produce in situ instable and dangerous reagents. These are just a few of the most important attributes that make electrochemistry useful in the environment. This review explains and illustrates the main features of electrochemistry as a promising and environmentally friendly method for organic synthesis. Here, the characteristics of the electrosynthesis process, paired electrochemical reactions, electrocatalytic reactions, reactions performed in ionic liquids, electricity generation of reactants, and electrochemical reactions using renewable starting materials (biomass) Provide information about. Basic information on green organic electrolytic synthesis in micron and nanometer units. Emulsions synthesize complex molecules and use important steps of electrosynthesis to summarize the insights into the future. Throughout the review process, the "green aspect" of these themes was emphasized and their relationship with the 12 Green Chemistry Principles was explained

Organic electrolytic synthesis is attracting much attention as a powerful synthetic green tool with less generation of waste, less consumption of chemical substances, fewer reaction steps than conventional methods. Interconversion of functional groups and C - C bonds by applying an appropriate electrode potential is the reason behind the organic electrochemical synthesis process. Pairing electrochemical reactions, indirect electrosynthesis, electrochemical microreactors and the use of ionic liquids are some of the excellent tools to help optimize the entire process. The need to use specific organic solvents in combination with supporting electrolytes is one of the major limitations that needs to be overcome in order to make electrochemical methods more economically feasible than non-electrochemical methods.

Green chemistry can be applied to organic chemistry, physics chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry and biochemistry. Mainly green chemistry focuses on industrial applications. The main purpose of Green Chemistry is to minimize hazards and maximize the efficiency of the selection of all chemical substances. According to the 12 principles proposed by Anastas and Warner it is best to evaluate the degree of greening of chemical reactions or chemical processes. These principles address fundamental issues such as pollution prevention, nuclear power savings, and reduced toxicity. The essence of the 12 principles can be summarized as follows.
