Alternating Current Electrolysis for Individual Synthesis of Methanol and Ethane from Methane in a Thermo-electrochemical Cell

Takashi Hibino et al.

Summary: The individual synthesis of methanol and ethane from methane was investigated using a thermo-electrochemical cell. Methane was directly oxidized at an anode consisting of sub-10 nm Pt and Fe particles. The formation of methanol occurred through the formation of active oxygen intermediates from water vapor in humidified methane electrolysis, while ethane was produced via the dissociation of C-H bonds and subsequent dimerization of (CH3)-C-· radicals in unhumidified methane electrolysis. Continuous electrolysis was hindered by overoxidation of the anode, but this problem was avoided by alternating current (AC) electrolysis.

Mediator-Enabled Electrocatalysis with Ligandless Copper for Anaerobic Chan-Lam Coupling Reactions

Benjamin R. Walker et al.

Summary: This study reports the use of substoichiometric quantities of redox mediators to address limitations to Cu-catalyzed electrosynthesis. By applying this strategy to Chan-Lam coupling of aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkylamines with arylboronic acids without the need for chemical oxidants, couplings under these electrochemical conditions occur with higher yields and shorter reaction times compared to conventional reactions. The redox mediators serve multiple roles in rapidly oxidizing low-valent Cu intermediates, regenerating the catalyst, revealing the active Pt surface for proton reduction, and providing anodic overcharge protection to prevent substrate oxidation.
