Electrochemical Synthesis of Cationic Transition-metal Complexes and Application to Organic Syntheses

我们研究的两个目标是“发展电化学合成阳离子有机金属配合物的方法”和“将这些过程整合到有机反应中”。三年来，我们建立了合成阳离子钯配合物和阳离子镍配合物的电化学方法，并将其集成到电化学瓦克型反应和偶联反应中。我们还发现，电化学生成的阳离子镍配合物是Michael加成的有效催化剂。

The two objectives of our research are "the development of the methodologies for the electrochemical synthesis of cationic organometal complexes" and "integration the processes into organic reactions". In the three years, we have established the electrochemical methods to synthesize cationic palladium complexes and cationic nickel complexes, which were integrated into electrochemical Wacker-type reactions and coupling reactions. We also found that electrochemically generated cationic nickel complexes are effective catalysts for Michael additions.
