Abstract
Synthetic organic electrochemistry is recognized as one of the most sustainable forms of redox chemistry that can enable a wide variety of useful transformations. In this study, readily prepared pyrolytic carbon electrodes are explored in several powerful rAP transformations as well as C-C and C-N bond forming reactions. Pyrolytic carbon provides an alternative to classic amorphous carbon-based materials that are either expensive or ill-suited to large-scale flow reactions.
