Metal enolates electrochemistry

As far as the use of electrochemical oxidation of metal enolates in organic synthesis is concerned, more than 30 years ago the electrochemical oxidation of lithium ester enolates was used for the preparation of snccinate esters . An excellent review on the applications of anodic electrochemistry in organic synthesis has been published . 

The two parts of the present volume contain seventeen chapters written by experts from eleven countries. They cover computational chemistry, structural chemistry by spectroscopic methods, luminescence, thermochemistry, synthesis, various aspect of chemical behavior such as application as synthons, acid-base properties, coordination chemistry, redox behavior, electrochemistry, analytical chemistry and biological aspects of the metal enolates. Chapters are devoted to special families of compounds, such as the metal ynolates and 1,2-thiolenes and, besides their use as synthons in organic and inorganic chemistry, chapters appear on applications of metal enolates in structural analysis as NMR shift reagents, catalysis, polymerization, electronic devices and deposition of metals and their oxides.
