“…The electrochemical synthesis of aldheydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids (including polymers) throughe lectrochemical oxidation of the primary alcohol functionm ediated by TEMPOlike nitroxyl radicals provides numerous key advantages. [4,9,19,11,15] As briefly shown by the selected studies reviewed in this Minireview,the reaction can be run at affordable cost under mild reaction conditions, affording highlyp ure oxidized reaction productsa longw ith little or no waste, getting rid of environmentally unfriendly hypochlorite used in the Anelli-Montanari process;o ro ft he potentialh azards associated with workingi no xygen-containing atmospherese mployed in aerobic oxidationp rotocols.
