Preventing metal deposition by cathodic reduction under direct current electrolysis conditions is a formidable challenge in transition-metal-catalysed electrosynthesis. Now, an asymmetric-waveform alternating current (a.c.) electrolysis approach is developed for silver-catalysed C–H phosphorylation where this a.c.-based approach regenerates the silver catalyst and keeps the catalyst loading balanced during the reaction.
