Electrochemical reduction of acetonitrile to ethylamine
Industrial synthesis of primary amine often features poor selectivity because of the formation of secondary and tertiary amine byproducts. Here, the authors report an electrocatalytic route to ethylamine through selective electroreduction of acetonitrile at ambient temperature and pressure.
