Synthetic organic chemists are beginning to exploit electrochemical methods in increasingly creative ways. This is leading to a surge in productivity that is only now starting to take advantage of the full-potential of electrochemistry for accessing new structures in novel, more efficient ways. In this perspective, we provide insight into the potential of electrochemistry as a synthetic tool gained through studies of both direct anodic oxidation reactions and more recent indirect methods, and highlight how the development of new electrochemical methods can expand the nature of synthetic problems our community can tackle.
合成有机化学家们开始以越来越富有创意的方式利用电化学方法。这导致了生产力的突飞猛进，而现在才开始充分利用电化学在以新颖、更有效的方式获取新结构方面的全部潜力。在这篇观点文章中，我们通过对直接阳极氧化反应和最近的间接方法的研究，深入了解了电化学作为一种合成工具的潜力，并强调了新电化学方法的发展如何扩展我们的社区可以解决的合成问题的性质。
