Electrochemical electrophilic aromatic methylthiation in liquid SO2

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.

Electrophilic substitutions with the electrogenerated sulfenium cation R1-S+

The sulfenium cation R1-S+ electrogenerated by oxidation of organic disulfides, reacts with phenols, aromatic ethers and ketones bearing an hydrogen atom in α position, to give alkyl (aryl) sulfanyl compounds.
