文摘Using NH4 I as the supporting electrolyte as well as the precursor of an I2 promoter and nitrogen source, a highly efficient electrochemical route was developed to convert aldehydes to nitriles with excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. This electrochemical process could effectively avoid the direct use of NH3 gas, molecular iodine, and oxidants.
