Recent Advances in Electrochemical Cascade Cyclization Reactions

This review highlights recent progress in electrochemical cascade cyclization reactions for the synthesis of carbon rings and heterocycles, such as pyridines, quinolines, phenanthridines, cinnolines, 1,4-dihydroquinolines, oxindoles, imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines, imidazoles, etc. The works included herein are introduced in two major sections of heterocycle construction and carbocycle construction reactions, covering the works reported from 2012 to 2022.
