Current Opinion in Electrochemistry

Electrochemical organic synthesis has recently attracted much attention because of its unique reactivity and environmentally benign approach. Conventional electrosynthesis uses either constant current or constant potential, known as direct current electrolysis. However, recently, alternating current electrolysis has begun receiving more attention. The purpose of this study is to give a short overview of the history and recent advances in the field of alternating current electrolysis for organic synthesis.
