Abstract
Recognized as gentler and more environmentally friendly compared to conventional methods, catalytic electrochemical reactions are a powerful tool for constructing heterocycles. Of special interest is indirect electrolysis, where the use of a redox mediator provides an additional means of reaction control, thus avoiding over‐oxidation and facilitating improved selectivity. This minireview describes recent advances in catalytic electrochemical reactions for synthesizing N , O ‐heterocycles that appeared from 2018 until September 2019.
