Abstract
This review presents the latest progress in photochemical and electrochemical reactions involving isatins. Isatin and its functionalized scaffolds e.g., oxindoles, spirooxindoles, and quinolines are privileged heterocycles as they are largely present in several agrochemical, natural products, and pharmaceuticals. Thus, the functionalization of isatins using sustainable approaches, i.e., electro- and photochemical methods is of recent research interest worldwide. In this review, we have discussed most of the important reactions of isatins based on types of bond formation involved under electro- and photochemical conditions over the last decade. The reaction mechanism for each reaction has been discussed in detail to offer an inclusive guide to readers. Lastly, a summary of current challenges and the future outlook toward the development of effective electrochemical and photochemical methods for the reaction of isatins is also presented.

Abstract
Electrosynthesis is a popular, green alternative to traditional organic methods. Understanding the mechanisms is not trivial yet is necessary to optimize reaction processes. To this end, a multitude of analytical tools is available to identify and quantitate reaction products and intermediates. The first portion of this review serves as a guide that underscores electrosynthesis fundamentals, including instrumentation, electrode selection, impacts of electrolyte and solvent, cell configuration, and methods of electrosynthesis. Next, the broad base of analytical techniques that aid in mechanism elucidation are covered in detail. These methods are divided into electrochemical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, microscopic, and computational. Technique selection is dependent on predicted reaction pathways and electrogenerated intermediates. Often, a combination of techniques must be utilized to ensure accuracy of the proposed model. To conclude, future prospects that aim to enhance the field are discussed.
