Organic electrolysis

We have been developing organic reactions induced by electron transfer on electrode (Electro-organic reaction) and we aim to apply the reactions to synthesis biologically active agent and explore medicinal products.
In particular, we focus on carbon-carbon forming reactions specific to lithium perchlorate nitromethane electrolyte solution1.
These reactions have been applied to the electron-transfer probe2, fluorescent probe3, synthesis of bio-molecular relevant compounds4, on the basis of reaction mechanism.
