Electrochemical thiocyanation of nitrogen-containing aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds

An efficient and convenient anodic thiocyanation of nitrogen-containing (hetero)aromatic compounds is described under constant current conditions in the presence of ammonium thiocyanate in methanol at room temperature. We have examined the in situ thiocyanation of various aromatic compounds in the p...

Description
Summary:An efficient and convenient anodic thiocyanation of nitrogen-containing (hetero)aromatic compounds is described under constant current conditions in the presence of ammonium thiocyanate in methanol at room temperature. We have examined the in situ thiocyanation of various aromatic compounds in the presence of electrochemically generated thiocyanogen at a graphite electrode (the anode) in an undivided cell.
