Selective benzylic C–H electrochemical oxygenation under ambient air promoted by an Fe–N–C electrocatalyst

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ) generated at the cathode and a benzylic radical intermediate generated at the anode. Notably, this cathodic ORR-coupled anodic oxidation strategy is free from external chemical oxidants and uses ethanol as a green solvent, highlighting its advantages in sustainable electrochemical C-H functionalization.
