Electrosynthesis of Artificial Peptides and Nucleosides via the Nitromethane–Lithium Perchlorate Electrolyte System: A Review

Abstract

Abstract Remarkable advances have recently been achieved in the application of electrochemical methodology in synthetic chemistry area. In the past few decades, various oxidative electrochemical reactions have reportedly been enhanced using a nitromethane–lithium perchlorate electrolyte system. Herein, we summarise our efforts toward the skeletal modification of proline residue and nitrogen‐containing nucleoside analogues (azanucleosides) via electrosynthesis.
