Abstract The benzoin condensation starting from benzaldehyde and the subsequent benzoin amidation to benzamide can be efficiently carried out under very mild conditions in an electrolysis cell. Among the advantages of using electrochemistry to generate our active reagents, the use of the easily dosed and non pollutant electron, instead of stoichiometric amounts of redox reagents or bases, usually renders the electrochemical methodology “greener” than classical organic reactions. Benzoin is obtained in good yield (85 %) carrying out the reaction in the room temperature ionic liquid BMIm-BF4. In this electrochemical reaction this liquid salt assumes the double role of solvent-supporting electrolyte system and precatalyst, yielding the corresponding N-heterocyclic carbene. The subsequent benzoin amidation is carried out by electrochemically generated superoxide anion, in the presence of an aliphatic primary or secondary amine. In this case the system superoxide/molecular oxygen acts as base and oxidant, yielding very good yields of benzamides (up to 89 %).

An efficient multicomponent approach has been developed in the environmentally green aqueous medium for synthesis of substituted polyfunctionalized pyrazoles. The simple and readily available aldehydes, malononitrile and phenylhydrazines substrates afforded polysubstituted imidazoles (15 examples) up to 96 % yield. The polyethylene glycol is playing the dual role of solvent and promoter with water in this reaction catalyzed by ceric ammonium nitrate.
