These electrochemical reduc tion reactions are very useful in various carbonyl groups transformation (such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, and amides), new bond formations as well as reduction of saturated and unsaturated molecules. Reductive electrocarboxylation reac tions to access various valuable chemicals are one of the important applications of cathodic reductive electrolysis. Herein, we review particularly the electrochemical organic transforma tion reactions taking place at the cathode. We also discuss how alternative strategies such as paired electrolysis, photo-electrol ysis, and alternating current electrolysis can be used to over come the limitations associated with cathodic electrolysis and how they will improve sustainable electrochemical transforma tions.
