Tailoring the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and its derivatives with (photo)electrocatalysis
Jingjing Qiu, Tucker Forbes, Timothy Lin
Abstract
, highlighting recent mechanistic studies involving noble and transition metal electrocatalysts. Furthermore, we discuss the electronic substituent effects on this reaction, which have been well-explored in organic oxidation pathways but remain underexplored in (photo)electrocatalytic contexts.
