DESCRIPTION:Oxidation and reduction reactions are among the most important 
 and frequently executed processes in organic synthesis. However\, our abil
 ity to manipulate the oxidation states of functional groups in complex set
 tings with high efficiency\, precision\, and minimal waste remains in a la
 rgely nascent stage. Owing to its many distinct characteristics\, electroc
 hemistry represents an attractive approach to meet the prevailing trends i
 n organic synthesis. In particular\, electrocatalysis—a process that integ
 rates electrochemistry and small-molecule catalysis—has the potential to s
 ubstantially improve the scope of synthetic electrochemistry and provide a
  wide range of useful transformations. Despite its attractive attributes a
 nd extensive applications in energy-related fields\, electrocatalysis has 
 been used only sparingly in synthetic organic chemistry. Thus\, there exis
 ts a clear impetus for inventing new catalytic strategies to improve the s
 cope of synthetic electrochemistry and provide new platforms for reaction 
 discovery and synthetic innovations. Toward this end\, we developed a new 
 catalytic approach that combines electrochemistry and redox-metal catalysi
 s for the oxidative difunctionalization of alkenes to access a diverse arr
 ay of vicinally functionalized structures. This presentation will detail o
 ur design principle underpinning the development of electrocatalytic alken
 e diazidation\, dichlorination\, halotrifluoromethylation\, haloalkylation
 \, and cyanophosphonylation.\n
