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