A deeper understanding of reaction mechanisms should lead to improvements in the selectivity of organic electrosynthesis methods. This approach has now been used to explain the role of magnesium diacetate in the Ag-electrocatalysed reductive coupling of sp3 organic chlorides with aldehydes or ketones with increased selectivity for the desired alcohol product.

了解有机电合成

对反应机制的更深入理解应该会导致有机电合成方法选择性的提高。这种方法现已用于解释二乙酸镁在银电催化 sp3 有机氯化物与醛或酮的还原偶联中的作用，从而提高了所需醇产物的选择性。
