Abstract
While aiming at sustainable synthesis, organic electrosynthesis has attracted increasing attention in the past few years. In parallel, with a deeper understanding of catalyst and ligand design, 3d transition-metal catalysis allows the conception of more straightforward synthetic routes in a cost-effective fashion. Owing to their intrinsic advantages, the merger of organic electrosynthesis with 3d transition-metal catalysis has offered huge opportunities for conceptually novel transformations while limiting ecological footprint. This review summarizes the key advancements in this direction published in the recent two years, with specific focus placed on strategy design and mechanistic aspects.

Abstract
An electrochemical oxidative cross-coupling strategy for the synthesis of N-sulfenylsulfoximines from sulfoximines and thiols was accomplished, giving diverse N-sulfenylsulfoximines in moderate to good yields. Moreover, this strategy can be extended to construct the N-P bond of N-phosphinylated sulfoximines. With electrons as reagents, the oxidative dehydrogenation cross-coupling reaction proceeds smoothly in the absence of traditional redox reagents.

Abstract
A Ni-catalyzed reductive dialkylation of 8-aminoquinoline-tethered aliphatic alkenes with two unactivated alkyl electrophiles is disclosed here. Key to the development of this transformation is the combination of primary alkyl (pseudo)halides and secondary alkyl iodides that produce products in a single regioselective manner. The reaction exhibits good functional group compatibility, and its synthetic utility was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of the precursors of biologically relevant molecules.
