Bromine-Mediated Electrochemical Cascade Valorization of Styrene
nanoparticles in mixed water-organic media. This intermediate is then sequentially transformed through a cascade into styrene oxide, styrene glycol, and styrene carbonate via carefully tuned reaction conditions. Our strategy enables controlled oxidation, high selectivity, and efficient production of multiple valuable oxygenated derivatives, demonstrating the broader potential of halogen-assisted electrochemistry as a versatile route for sustainable fine chemical synthesis.
