While the use of electricity to facilitate organic reac ons has been known for over 150 years, the success of modern methods for genera ng and controlling radical intermediates (e.g. photoredox catalysis) has led to a renewed interest in the orthogonal reac vity that can be provided using electrochemistry. Widespread access to tools for screening electrochemical reac ons has led to an explosion in the number of new transforma ons enabled by electrochemistry over the last five years. Modern advances such as waveform modula on, overcharge protec on, and the development of catalysts for mediated electrolysis, has broadened the scope of tolerated func onality and improved overall selec vity of this class of reac ons.
