Abstract

Abstract : The electrode potential is generally utilized for tuning the chemoselectivity in organic electrosynthesis. In contrast to this concept, J. Chen et al. employ in their Research Article on page 11583 a novel reaction parameter, current density, to enable versatile C−N bond‐forming reactions. Pyrido[1, 2‐ a ]benzimidazole and tetraarylhydrazine frameworks were generated in a sustainable manner with broad substrate scope.
