The mechanistic aspects of the electrochemical reduction of phenacylthio- and selenocyanates have been studied. With phenacylthiocyanates (1), a change in the reductive cleavage mechanism is observed as a function of the substituent on the phenyl ring. While a stepwise mechanism involving the intermediacy of a radical anion is followed for substrates bearing a strong electron withdrawing group, such as cyano and nitro substituent (1d, 1e), and a concerted mechanism is favoured for compounds bearing an electron-donating or no substituent on the phenyl ring (1a-c). A regioselective bond cleavage leads to the fragmentation of the CH2-S bond with all compounds 1a-e, further yielding the corresponding 1,4-diketone (3) as products. Contrastingly, with phenacylselenocyanates (2), two different reductive cleavages occur involving the breaking of both the CH2-Se and Se-CN bonds. Several products are obtained, all coming from nucleophilic attack at the α (phenacyl) carbon or the selenium atom.

The reaction of selenium oxychloride with 2 equiv. of ketones affords α,α'-diketo selenide dichlorides (1) in excellent yields.Portionwise addition of 1 to a stirred two-phase mixture of an aqueous sodium dithionite solution and benzene gives α,α'-diketo
