Indispensable Applications of Electrochemical Techniques to Organic Synthetic Reactions: Enhancing Versatility and

Abstract

which is toxic, causing hyperbilirubinemia and gout [13-15]. For the palladium catalyzed heterolytic CC coupling reactions, the metal center is one of the more expensive rare earth metals [11,12], making olefin metathesis and cross coupling impractical compared to current electrochemical applications presented below. The cost for many CC coupling reactions due to these catalysts comes with a great price: not only is the opportunity cost of time and low yields involved, but health and physiological impediments must be taken into consideration along with the exorbitant expense of the transition metal itself.
