Introduction

Abstract

The term electroorganic chemistry is often used in the same meaning as organic electrochemistry. Although the difference between these two terms is not always clear, the latter seems to emphasize electrochemistry rather than organic chemistry and to involve electrochemical, electrotheoretical, and electroanalytical studies of organic compounds. On the other hand, the former is basically organic chemistry and offers variety of potentials which are beneficial to organic synthesis as briefly surveyed below.
