Abstract: Processes and systems for oxidation of a hydrocarbon reactant to generate an oxidized hydrocarbon product may include: contacting a water oxidation electrocatalyst with the hydrocarbon reactant and water in the presence of a non-aqueous solvent; wherein an anodic bias is applied to the water oxidation electrocatalyst, thereby generating the oxidized hydrocarbon product; and wherein the water oxidation electrocatalyst comprises one or more transition metals other than Ru. Optionally, the water is provided in the non-aqueous solvent at a concentration less than or equal to 0.5 vol. %. Optionally, the magnitude of the anodic bias is selected to generate the oxidized hydrocarbon product characterized by selected product distribution.
