Abstract
The development of versatile and mild methodologies for C-N bond construction has always been a hot topic of interest in synthetic organic chemistry. In recent years, electrochemistry has emerged as a promising green and sustainable environmentally benign approach to carry out these transformations under mild conditions utilizing electrons as oxidizing/reducing agents. The current state-of-the-art in combining electrocatalysis with transition metal catalysis has gained significant attention. This hybrid synthetic methodology has increasingly become a common tool and offers many potential advantages compared to direct electrolysis. This review comprehensively highlights recent developments in the merging of transition metal catalysis in electro-organic synthesis for the facile construction of C-N bonds. In this review major emphasis is given to mechanistic investigations and their synthetic applications of this hybrid catalysis.
