Biaryl Synthesis via Electrooxidative Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C-H Activation

The use of electricity as an inexpensive and waste-free oxidant opens up new opportunities for the development of sustainable C-H functionalization reactions. Herein we summarize recent advances in the synthesis of biaryls through electrooxidative processes involving transition-metal-catalyzed ortho -directed C-H activation. A particular focus is set on electrooxidative C-H/C-M couplings and dehydrogenative couplings.
