Electrochemical Strategies in Organic Synthesis

A systematic catalog of over 120 electrochemical reactions for organic synthesis
 
Electrosynthesis has experienced a significant revival as a viable route toward green and sustainable organic synthesis. The book "Electrochemical Strategies in Organic Synthesis", written by Goutam Brahmachari, a prolific author and distinguished professor of organic chemistry, systematically catalogs more than 120 electrochemical reactions for forming carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, resulting in a broad spectrum of biorelevant organic compounds.
 
Each chapter addresses a specific reaction type, presenting the general reaction scheme, detailed reaction conditions, representative compound examples with chemical structures, mechanism, and critical discussion. Coverage spans C-C, C-N, C-O, C-F, C-S, C-Se, and C-P bond formations leading to aliphatic, aromatic, alicyclic compounds, and heterocycles.
 
The book also contains:
* Detailed mechanistic discussions and reaction condition parameters for each electrochemical protocol to support laboratory implementation
* Critical evaluation of each method's merits, demerits, and sustainability aspects compared with conventional synthetic approaches
* Coverage of C-H functionalization and cross-coupling strategies applied to medicinally relevant heterocyclic scaffold construction
* References and representative chemical structures throughout, enabling rapid identification of applicable reactions for target compounds
 
Designed for organic chemists, process chemists, and medicinal chemists working in both academia and industry, this reference provides the systematic organization and practical detail needed to identify, evaluate, and implement electrochemical methods for efficient and sustainable bond-forming reactions.
