In recent years, caffeine has found multiple uses in different areas of the catalysis field. There are reports demonstrating; (a) the capabilities of caffeine as an additive to boost fuel forming reactions, (b) the use of a caffeine derivative as hydride (H -) transfer agent and (c) the use of caffeine derivatives as Nheterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands to synthesize organometallic complexes and catalyze hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions. Intrigued by this reactivity, we envisioned caffeine as an interesting building block to prepare small organic molecules with relevant electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties.
