Electrochemical Deoxygenative Thiolation of Preactivated Alcohols and Ketones
Feng Zhang, Yang Wang, Yi Wang, Yi Pan
Abstract
This work describes an electrochemically promoted nickel-catalyzed deoxygenative thiolation of alcohols and ketones under mild conditions. Excellent substrate tolerance and good chemical yields can be achieved by graphene/nickel foam electrodes in an undivided cell. Further study to gain mechanistic insight into this electrochemical cross-coupling has been carried out.
