The electrochemical reduction of some S,S-diarylbenzene-1,2-dicarbothioates (1) in aprotic medium leads to 3,3-bis(arylthio)phthalides (2) in almost quantitative yield.The reaction is an example of an electrochemically induced chemical reaction.SRN1, in which no external nucleophile is needed and for which the required amount of charge is less than 0.1 F mol-1.
