The adoption of new measures that preserve our environment, on which our survival depends, is a necessity. Electro-organic processes are sustainable per se, by producing the activation of a substrate by electron transfer at normal pressure and room temperature. In the recent years, a highly crescent number of works on organic electrosynthesis are available. Novel strategies at the electrode are being developed enabling the construction of a great variety of complex organic molecules. However, the possibility of being scaled-up is mandatory in terms of sustainability. Thus, some electrochemical methodologies have demonstrated to report the best results in reducing pollution and saving energy. In this personal account, these methods have been compiled, being organized as follows: • Direct discharge electrosynthesis • Paired electrochemical reactions. and • Organic transformations utilizing electrocatalysis (in absence of heavy metals). Selected protocols are herein presented and discussed with representative recent examples. Final perspectives and reflections are also considered.
采取新措施来保护我们赖以生存的环境是必要的。电有机过程本身是可持续的，因为它通过在常压和室温下通过电子转移来激活底物。近年来，关于有机电合成的研究数量急剧增加。正在开发电极上的新策略，以构建各种各样的复杂有机分子。然而，就可持续性而言，扩大规模的可能性是必不可少的。因此，一些电化学方法已证明在减少污染和节约能源方面能取得最佳效果。在这篇个人综述中，这些方法已被汇编，具体如下：• 直接放电电合成 • 成对电化学反应。以及 • 利用电催化（无重金属）的有机转化。本文展示并讨论了选定的方案以及近期的代表性实例。还考虑了最终的展望和思考。
