A Graphite Powder Cavity Cell as an Efficient Tool of Sustainable Chemistry: Electrocatalytic Homocoupling of 2-Halopyridines

Synthetic Organic Electrochemical Methods Since 2000: On the Verge of a Renaissance

“…Electrochemical homocoupling of (hetero)aryl halides (such as 2-halopyridines) through this mechanism has been reported. 759,760 Cross-couplings between aryl halides and heteroaryl halides through similar mechanisms have also been reported. 761−764 Various nitrogen-rich heterocycles, which are challenging targets for conventional Suzuki coupling reaction, were shown to undergo electroreductive couplings in good yields (Figure 44F).…”

“…In the absence of an additional coupling partner, dimerization of alkenyl halides could occur. Electrochemical homocoupling of (hetero)­aryl halides (such as 2-halopyridines) through this mechanism has been reported. , …”

Carbon Nanotube/Graphite Mixtures Used as Cavity Cell Macroelectrodes and their Unexpected Behavior Towards Benzyl Bromide Electroreduction

“…Thanks to their outstanding electronic properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become promising candidates for applications in rechargeable batteries, artificial muscles, electrodes, and many others, either as pure materials or as composites. Electrosynthetic and electroanalytical applications have gained prominence in recent years.…”

“…Electrosynthetic and electroanalytical applications have gained prominence in recent years. One such example is the electrocatalytical homocoupling of 2‐halopyridines, carried out in a cavity cell using CNT:graphite mixtures as electrode . This cavity cell setup is versatile, efficient, and environmentally‐friendly, and has been used for a wide variety of reactions ,.…”
