In the keto form, conjugation to an aryl substituent is interrupted due to the sp³-hybridized carbon atom at the 5-position of barbituric acid. The enol form generates a conjugated π-system to the aryl substituent and acts as an electron-donating group. If the aryl substituent is electron-deficient, a push-pull system is generated that shows typical UV/Vis absorption. These types of compounds are difficult to access synthetically due to their intrinsic convertibility. The synthesis of barbituric acids with a 4-formylphenyl functionality at the 5-position is reported. This compound, 5-(4-formylphenyl)barbituric acid, could be used to introduce extended π-systems with electron-withdrawing groups in great variety by simple condensation reactions.

By combining the unique features of electrochemistry with the goal of carbon dioxide fixation, researchers aim to develop new strategies that can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly synthesis of organic compounds. One advantage of electrochemical methods is their ability to provide both electrons and energy for chemical transformations. This allows for the direct conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable organic products, without the need for transition metal catalysts or harsh reaction conditions. As a result, electrochemical carbon dioxide fixation offers the potential for milder and more efficient processes compared to traditional methods. Scientists have made noteworthy progress in exploring different strategies for the fixation of carbon dioxide under electrochemical conditions. These strategies involve the activation of various types of chemical bonds, including C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–C(sp<sup>2</sup>), C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–H, C–X (X = halogen), and C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–X (X = S, C, O, N).
