Electrochemical thiocyanation of aromatic and alkene derivatives

T
he anodic thiocyanation of aromatic compounds [1, 2] showed both regio- and isomer- selectivity. For example, the para-
thiocyanate isomer was formed exclusively:
SCN- - e → SCN.
2SCN. → (SCN)2
The one-pot anodic thiocyanation and isothiocyanation of alkenes in both acidic two-phase (water-dichloromethane) and
homogeneous one-phase (water-acetonitrile) media will be described too [3, 4]. A selected example of type of products
obtained is illustrated in the scheme below:
