Electroreductive mediators play an important role in modern electroorganic synthesis. This article reviews reactions in which metal redox complexes, organic redox mediators and superoxide are used as electro-catalysts and/or electro-mediatory reagents. 1. Introduction 2. Electrosynthetic Reactions with Metal Redox Mediators 3. Electrosynthetic Reactions with Organic Redox Mediators 4. Electrosynthetic Reactions with Superoxide
