A homogeneous redox catalytic process for the paired synthesis of l-cysteine and l-cysteic acid from l-cystine

Organic Electrochemistry: Expanding the Scope of Paired Reactions

Paired electrochemical reactions allow the optimization of both atom and energy economy of oxidation and reduction reactions. While many paired electrochemical reactions take advantage of perfectly matched reactions at the anode and cathode, this matching of substrates is not necessary. In constant current electrolysis, the potential at both electrodes adjusts to the substrates in solution. In principle, any oxidation reaction can be paired with any reduction reaction. Various oxidation reactions conducted on the anodic side of the electrolysis were paired with the generation and use of hydrogen gas at the cathode, showing the generality of the anodic process in a paired electrolysis and how the auxiliary reaction required for the oxidation could be used to generate a substrate for a non-electrolysis reaction. This is combined with variations on the cathodic side of the electrolysis to complete the picture and illustrate how oxidation and reduction reactions can be combined.

An electrochemical and computational study for discrimination ofd- andl-cystine by reduced graphene oxide/β-cyclodextrin

This study indicates the applicability of two different techniques (electrochemical and computational study) for the discrimination of cystine enantiomers (d- andl-cystine) by reduced graphene oxide/β-cyclodextrin (rGO/β-CD) hybrid material.
