Book Description

Practical Aspects of Electroorganic Synthesis presents educational insights into the practical aspects of electrosynthesis methods, providing a variety of examples and techniques. The book covers concepts referred to as "green chemistry" and "sustainable technology." Sections cover direct electrolysis, anodic oxidation, cathodic reduction, mechanistic studies (cyclic voltammetry), and how to set-up electrochemical experiments. Indirect electrolysis is also covered, including an exploration of catalysts and additives to take on modern electrochemical methods. Finally, the book explores the burgeoning new field of paired electrolysis, in which the ultimate green-synthesis applications are possible, with no wasted electrons and very few by-products. This book offers researchers a modern and authoritative resource that brings complete and up-to-date practical concepts of electrosynthesis methods and guides the audience on how to carry out a large number of experimental techniques. - Discusses complete and up-to-date practical concepts of electrosynthesis methods - Provides sound insights into the experimental approaches of electrosynthesis, covering new and novel synthesis techniques - Breaks down the fundamentals aspects of electrolysis into three digestible and logical sections
