Key Points

To enable the direct activation and functionalization of acetonitrile using a sustainable photoelectrochemical approach.
Developed a photoelectrochemical strategy for activating acetonitrile
Utilized transient alkynylnitrile intermediates
Assessed C(sp³)-H bond activation efficiency
Demonstrated successful direct activation of acetonitrile
Highlighted stability of C(sp³)-H bonds in the process
Showed promise for sustainable chemical transformations

Implication

Photoelectrochemical activation enabled functionalization of acetonitrile, indicating a novel sustainable strategy.

Abstract

Direct functionalization of acetonitrile remains a long-standing challenge due to the exceptional stability of its C(sp³)-H bonds. Herein we report a sustainable photoelectrochemical strategy that enables the direct activation of...
