Abstract
Alcohols are among the most common organic reagents and are typically used as solvents. Small-molecule alcohols are inexpensive, water-soluble, easy to store, and stable in performance. Using alcohols as starting materials in organic electrochemical synthesis aligns with the principles of green chemistry. This review discusses organic electrochemical reactions involving small-molecule alcohols as reactants, mainly including etherification, esterification, and alkylation.
