Electrosynthesis is a method of choice for designing new synthetic routes owing to its ability to selectively conduct reactions at controlled potentials, high functional group tolerance, mild conditions and sustainability when powered by renewables. When designing an electrosynthetic route, the selection of the electrolyte, which is composed of a solvent, or a mixture of solvents, and a supporting salt, is a prerequisite. The electrolyte components, generally assumed to be passive, are chosen because of their adequate electrochemical stability windows and to ensure the solubilization of the substrates.

Article Synopsis
- Natural nucleic acids like DNA and RNA have evolved beyond just carrying genetic information; they can now serve various functions such as molecular catalysts and data storage.
- However, their natural weaknesses, like being easily degraded by nucleases and lacking chemical versatility, limit their use in advanced applications.
- The development of 5-(octa-1,7-diynyl)uracil 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinonucleic acid (FANA) shows promise, as it resists nuclease degradation and can be easily modified, making it a strong candidate for use as a synthetic genetic polymer.
