Electrochemically Driven Organocatalytic Transformations of Alcohols, Thiols and Disulfides
The purpose of this research, set in the context of synthetic organic chemistry, is to develop unprecedented methods for electrochemically driven cleavage and subsequent functionalization of C–O and C–S bonds in alcohols, thiols and disulfides using organocatalysts based on phosphorus and sulfur. These radical methods will serve as keys to unlock the potential of the targeted compound classes as feedstocks for synthesis of functional organic compounds, e.g., pharmaceuticals, as well as for biomass valorization processes. Due to the complexity of the targeted transformations, the scarcity of available methods and the novelty of the outlined approach, the research will expand the synthetic…
