Fig. 1: Schematic of electrochemical and electro-thermo cascade approaches for methanol valorization.

Electrochemical strategies for the construction of diverse chemical bonds using methanol as a reagent and the electro-thermo cascade synthesis of the organonitrogen compounds with (dimethylamino)methyl substituent using the N–C–N bonded compounds as the specific reagents. R1 and R2 represent different or identical groups.
