Electrochemically generated organothiating reagents and their use
-
, (2008/06/13)
Electrolysis of organic disulfides in liquid sulfur dioxide is used to obtain organothiating agents, which can then be reacted with appropriate substrates to effect the synthesis of organothioaromatic compounds efficiently and in high yields. With appropriate phenolic compounds, regioselective substitution occurs in which para substitution greatly exceeds ortho substitution.

Controlled potential electrolysis of dimethyldisulfide in liquid sulfur dioxide provides a strongly electrophilic methylthiating agent. This species methylthiates strongly to weakly activated arenes in good to excellent yield.
