Traditionally, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions rely on stable but expensive metals, such as palladium. However, the recent development of synthetic organic electrochemistry allows for in situ redox manipulations, expanding the use of cheaper, abundant and sustainable metals, such as nickel and copper as efficient cross-coupling catalysts. This short review covers the recent advances in metal-catalyzed electrochemical coupling reactions, with a focus on reactions of sp2 electrophiles and nucleophiles with sp3 coupling partners to form both C–C and C–heteroatom bonds.1 Introduction2 Nickel-Catalyzed C–C sp2–sp3 Coupling Reactions3 Coupling of Aryl Groups with Heteroatomic Nuclei4 Conclusion
