The
application of ultrasound with electrochemistry in organic
chemistry (known as organic sonoelectrochemistry) accelerates the
activation process of chemical reactions. This hybrid technology enhances
electrical efficiency and modifies and increases the product yield.
Moreover, it facilitates the mass transfer phenomena and the processes
of cleaning, degassing, and activation of the electrode surfaces;
maintains higher current densities for efficient chemical transformations;
and also works efficiently for mixing of reactants in multiphase systems.
The ultrasound technology has a prominent effect in heterogeneous
reaction systems especially during the solid (electrode)–liquid
(electrolytic mixture) interfacial cavitation process. The ultrasound
technology gains attention due to its fundamental and positive effect
in organic chemistry to make possible the challenging electrosynthetic
processes. Herein, we report the sonoelectrosynthetic methods that
will help researchers to understand and apply this methodology for
scale-up of processes in organic synthesis and also in more modern
innovative continuous-flow organic electrochemistry. Therefore, this
study will provide valuable insight into the effects caused by ultrasound-assisted
electrosynthesis and how this technology revolutionizes organic synthesis.
It is believed that the hybrid sonoelectrochemical synthesis serves
as a solution to the limitations of the commercialization of synthetic
processes and offers a new, modern aspect in organic synthesis in
a clean, hassle-free, and sustainable approach.
