Use of Real‐Time In‐Situ UV‐vis Spectrophotometry as a Tool for Monitoring Electrochemically‐Mediated Organic Synthesis

A real‐time in‐situ UV‐vis reaction monitoring tool is used for the optimization and substrate screening of two electrochemically‐mediated reactions, namely the dehydrogenation of 1,2‐diphenylhydrazines, and the hydrogenation of azobenzenes. Key reaction parameters were assayed easily and effectively, this enabling rapid optimization and substrate screening.
