Mechanistic investigation of the iron-mediated electrochemical formation of β-hydroxyesters from α-haloesters and carbonyl compounds

Formation and electrochemical behavior characterizations of dibromo 2,2′-bipyridine manganese(II) systems in DMF solution

“…In the present case, the both dissociation reactions are quantitative as it is obtained with iron for instance [14].…”

A novel electrosynthesis cell with a compressed graphite powder cathode and minimal organic solvent content: Application to the Reformatsky reaction

“…The role of zinc in the nickel-catalyzed electroreductive coupling of ␣-chloro esters with aldehydes and ketones was elucidated following an in-depth study of this novel procedure [27]. Additionally, a Reformatsky-type reaction involving electroassisted iron-complex catalysis was reported to generate high yields of ␤-hydroxy esters [26] and its mechanism has been investigated [29].…”

Intertwined Analytical, Experimental and Theoretical Studies on the Formation and Structure of a Copper Dienolate

“…Furthermore, CV enables to study highly reactive species (short-lived species), as they appear stable at the time of the cyclic voltammetry. [12] The electrochemical behavior of Cu(I) or Cu(II) in the presence of chelating ligands is well documented, but generally with diimine ligand such as bipyridine or phenanthroline, and more specifically for the oxidation of Cu(I) to Cu(II). [13] Some papers reported organic phosphines as well as their bidentate derivatives as ligand of copper, but the majority of these studies deal with mixed-ligand complexes, those contain phenylphosphine only as spectator and the cathodic behavior of Cu(I) complexes generally shows a ligand-centered reduction, the Cu(0) formation being not visible.…”
