Electrochemistry Enabled Natural Products Synthesis

Electrochemically enabled organic synthesis of natural products, mainly alkaloids and terpenoids, an atom-efficient, mild, sustainable process, permits an eco-friendly, and elegant green path to synthesize structurally complex still valuable molecules at room temperature avoiding the use of conventional harsh oxidizing and reducing agents and often cut down long route reaction protocols. Hence, it increases the yield of reactions and reduces the time consumed as well as by-products. Being one of the oldest forms of reaction setups in laboratory, it deals with fundamental redox chemistry through the direct application of an electrical potential. In This book, the alterative green transformation roadmap through nonclassical bond disconnections to access desired target molecules (mainly alkaloids & terpenoids) will be discussed in detail. How, apparently looking difficult bonds are built with excellent regio-, chemo-and stereoselectivity, that will also be shown. Obviously, it emerges as an alternative and attractive technique for the present synthetic communities.
