Electrochemical transition metal catalysis is a powerful strategy for organic synthesis because it obviates the use of stoichiometric chemical oxidants and reductants. C–H bond functionalization offers a variety of useful conversions of simple and ubiquitous organic molecules into diverse functional groups in a single synthetic operation. This review summarizes recent progress in merging electrochemistry with transition metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization, specifically C–C, C–X (halogen), C–O, C–P, and C–N bond formation.
