Article Synopsis
- Electrocatalytic CH amination of hydrocarbons is a key method for producing valuable carbon-nitrogen (CN) compounds, but activating CH bonds efficiently poses a challenge.
- This research introduces a new strategy using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated carbon paper electrodes to improve the conversion of toluene to N-benzylacetamide, achieving significantly higher productivity and Faradaic efficiency compared to uncoated electrodes.
- The PTFE coating enhances toluene adsorption and reduces energy barriers for reactions while preventing water from interfering, highlighting the importance of engineering the electrode interface in these electrocatalytic processes.

With the development of organic electrochemical synthesis, a series of notable achievements have been made in electrochemical Ritter amination reactions, which have enriched the methods available for constructing C-N bonds. In this review, electrochemical Ritter amination reactions are introduced based on the classification of reaction substrates, including olefins, aromatics, alkylbenzenes, and the less reported carboxylic acids, ketones, sulfides, and alkanes. The application of electrochemical technology to Ritter reactions has improved the harsh conditions of the traditional reactions, and extended the substrate scope and the structural diversity of the products.

A photoredox-catalyzed unsymmetrical diamination of alkenes by using -aminopyridinium salts and nitriles as the amination reagents has been developed. Various vicinal diamines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, this protocol could be applied in the late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals and natural products.

A metal-free photocatalytic Ritter-type C-H amination of unactivated sp carbons using molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant has been developed. By employing a co-catalytic system of 3-dichloro-4,5-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and -butyl nitrite (TBN), this novel strategy provides a low cost, sustainable and scalable way to synthesise a broad range of secondary amides in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.
