Electrochemistry has long held potential as a tool for constructing a wide variety of organic molecules, and the organic chemistry community is both recognizing and impressively exploiting that potential with increasing regularity. Those efforts have taught us a great deal about how to think about electrochemical reactions and how to use the technique to accomplish new transformations that enrich the synthetic enterprise.
The relationship between organic synthesis and electrochemistry can also be viewed in the opposite direction, with the new synthetic chemistry being developed in order to facilitate exciting opportunities to expand the scope of electrochemical experiments. For example, new synthetic methods that allow for the site-selective generation of chemical reagents on microelectrode arrays have enabled the construction of complex, addressable molecular surfaces. The method offers a previously unknown level of quality control over the surface and enables binding events between molecules to be monitored in “real time”.
Not surprisingly, the exploration of these new electrochemical tools is beginning to “give back” to the synthetic arena. A number of preparative scale synthetic applications have now arisen based on the concept of site-selective reagent generation, and those applications offer new opportunities for controlling the selectivity of a chemical reaction.
This webinar highlights the interplay between organic synthesis and electrochemistry with an emphasis on how key concepts in physical organic chemistry are used to guide the development of new advances in both areas.
