The electrochemical system described in this study utilizes triethylamine as a sacrificial reductant, offering easy operation, sustainable conditions, and a wide substrate scope for breaking various types of bonds. The selectivity and capability of reduction can be conveniently switched by incorporating or removing alcohol as a co-solvent.
A general electrochemical system for reductive hydrodefunctionalization is described, employing the inexpensive and easily available triethylamine (Et3N) as a sacrificial reductant. This protocol is characterized by facile operation, sustainable conditions, and exceptionally wide substrate scope covering the cleavage of C-halogen, N-S, N-C, O-S, O-C, C-C and C-N bonds. Notably, the selectivity and capability of reduction can be conveniently switched by simple incorporation or removal of an alcohol as a co-solvent.
