The “Anion pool” approach introduces a greener approach for derivatization of pharmaceutically important molecules by amalgamating both electrochemistry and organic synthesis. This is a base and metal free procedure carried out in organic solvents recommended for pharmaceutical preparations. The anion pool procedure generates reactive nitrogen nucleophiles in situ via electrochemical reduction of heteroaromatic substrates. The adoption of such a methodology prevents generation of waste from bases used for deprotonation. Hydrogen is the main by-product of generation of anion pool, which, if produced at a large enough scale could be used as a renewable fuel. These attributes comply with the principles …
