Recent Advances on C—H Functionalization via Oxidative Electrophotocatalysis
Direct and selective functionalization of relatively inert C—H bonds is a long-standing challenge in synthetic chemistry.While many strategies have been developed to date,new approach that does not require the use of transition-metals and oxidants is in high demand.Recently,electrophotocatalysis has emerged as a powerful means to effect direct C—H func-tionalization and other types of challenging transformations under mild reaction conditions.The recent advances on electro-photocatalytic C—H functionalization via anode oxidation are highlighted with a focus on mechanistic aspects.Challenges and opportunities of this emerging field are also discussed.
