Broadening the scope of carbonyl olefination reactions using a new electrophotocatalytic approach

https://phys.org/news/2023-04-broadening-scope-carbonyl-olefination-reactions.html

"electrophotocatalytic and electrochemical oxidations paired controlled intermediates... alkenes react both ketones and aldehydes... byproducts hydrogen and nitrogen... diazo compound generated electrochemically from organic carbonyl and hydrazine... cyclic diazene and alkene produced, nitrogen lost, distonic radical cation reduction leaves target olefin... without wastes... alternative to Witting olefination allowing creation of new products, including some in pharmaceutical industry"
