In the 21st century, environmentally friendly
processes are becoming much more important.
The concept and significance of green
sustainable chemistry (GSC), which was
developed in the USA, has been recognized
throughout the world, and nowadays new
processes cannot be developed without
consideration of GSC. Since the latter stages of
the last century, much attention has been paid
to organic electrosynthesis as a typical
environmentally friendly process. Furthermore,
in this century, electrolytic reactions with much
lower emission processes and electrochemical
methodologies based on new concepts have
been developed. These related studies have
become an active research area [1].
In this chapter, new methodologies for organic
electrolysis are described. Even though some
methodologies are not very new, they are
mentioned because they are highly useful from
the viewpoint of GSC.
6.1 SPE Electrolysis and Its
Applications
In contrast to organic synthesis, electrolytic
reactions require supporting salts. It is
