Summary: Electrochemistry, a powerful tool in oxidative dehydrogenation cross-coupling reactions, utilizes electrons instead of traditional redox reagents. 1,3-Dicarbonyl derivatives, common and easily available synthetic blocks, are widely used for constructing active molecules. By direct or indirect anodic oxidation, 1,3-dicarbonyl radicals can be generated and undergo addition reactions with arenes, double bonds, or triple bonds to form diverse organic molecules. This review summarizes recent advances in the electrochemical generation of 1,3-dicarbonyl radicals from C-H-based derivatives and focuses on their mechanistic insights and synthetic applications.
