The facilitation of redox-neutral reactions by electrochemical injection of holes and electrons, also known as "electrochemical catalysis", is a little explored approach that has the potential to expand the scope of electrosynthesis immensely. To systematically improve existing protocols and to pave the way toward new developments, a better understanding of the underlying principles is crucial. In this context, we have studied the Newman-Kwart rearrangement of O-arylthiocarbamates to the corresponding S-aryl derivatives, the key step in the synthesis of thiophenols from the corresponding phenols. This transformation is a particularly useful example because the conventional method requires temperatures up to 300 °C, whereas electrochemical catalysis facilitates the reaction at room temperature. A combined experimental-quantum chemical approach revealed several reaction channels and rendered an explanation for the relationship between the structure and reactivity. Furthermore, it is shown how rapid cyclic voltammetry measurements can serve as a tool to predict the feasibility for specific substrates. The study also revealed distinct parallels to photoredox-catalyzed reactions, in which back-electron transfer and chain propagation are competing pathways.

Cu(OAc)promoted TBHP oxidative coupling reaction of formamides with thiols successfully proceeded through direct C-H bond activation of formamides. The corresponding S-phenyl dialkyl thiocarbamate compounds were formed with high yield under solvent-free c

Electronically deactivated and/or sterically hindered substrates undergo the Newman-Kwart rearrangement (NKR) at around 300 °C, beyond the range of most convenient and safe, small-scale laboratory equipment. We report here the convenient conversions of several difficult substrates using modern microwave technology, which has proven ideal for investigating this high temperature reaction in all but the?most refractory of cases. In addition, several previously reported difficult examples were re-investigated, and found not to require high temperatures under these conditions, for various reasons which are elaborated upon.
