Nitroarenes are widely utilized in organic synthesis and are a key topic in undergraduate organic chemistry curricula. However, efficient methods for denitrative transformations of nitroarenes under mild conditions remain limited. In recent years, green electrochemical synthesis has emerged as a promising approach for the selective C―N bond transformations of nitroarenes. This mini-review highlights recent advances in electrochemically facilitated denitrative transformations of nitroarenes, using reaction examples that are accessible to undergraduate students. These examples aim to expand students’ understanding of denitrative processes, stimulate their interest in the field, enhance their learning experience, and enrich their knowledge base.
