Recent Progress in Electrochemical Synthesis of Carboxylic Esters
Ester compounds are widely used in daily life or industrial production,and there are many ways to synthesize ester.Among these synthesis methods,synthesis of esters under electrochemical catalysis has the advantages of mild reaction conditions,easy control of reaction process and diverse selection of reaction substrates,etc.,which has attracted more and more attention in recent years.In this review,according to the types of reaction compounds involved in electrocatalytic ester formation in recent years,the literature reports on carboxylic acid compounds and non-carboxylic acid compounds are summarized and analyzed.The objective is to offer some direction for the investigation of carboxylate bond formation by electrochemical catalysis.
