Recent Advances in the Electrochemical Formation of Carbon-Nitrogen Bonds

C-N bonds are widely existed in drugs, natural products, and functional materials. Thus, the construction of C-N bonds is one of the most important research areas in academia and industry. Recently, the renaissance in organic electrochemistry has promoted the electrochemical C-N bond formations to be a special branch of organic synthesis. The most recent advances in the electrochemical C-N bond formations since 2015 are summarized. The reaction mechanisms of these transformations are discussed, and the challenges and future directions of this important filed are included. We hope that this review can give references to the researchers, graduate students and other related people.
