Abstract:
Rearrangement reactions constitute a critical facet of synthetic organic chemistry and demonstrate an
attractive way to take advantage of existing structures to access various important molecular
frameworks. Electroorganic chemistry has emerged as an environmentally benign approach to carry out
organic transformations by directly employing an electric current and avoids the use of stoichiometric
chemical oxidants. The last few years have witnessed a resurgence of electroorganic chemistry that has
promoted a renaissance of interest in the development of novel redox electroorganic transformations.
This review manifests the evolution of electrosynthesis in the area of rearrangement chemistry and
covers the achievements in the field of migration, ring expansion, and rearrangements along with the
mechanisms involved.
