An environmentally friendly electrocatalytic protocol has been developed for dehydrogenative C-H/S-H cross-coupling. This method enabled C-S bond formation under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions. Under undivided electrolysis conditions, various aryl/heteroaryl thiols and electron-rich arenes afforded the C-S bond-formation products in 24-99 % yield. A preliminary mechanistic study indicated that the generation of aryl radical cation intermediates is key to the success of this transformation.
已开发出一种用于脱氢 C-H/S-H 交叉偶联的环保电催化协议。该方法在无催化剂和氧化剂的条件下实现了 C-S 键的形成。在无分隔电解条件下,各种芳基/杂芳基硫醇和富电子芳基化合物以 24-99%的产率得到 C-S 键形成产物。初步的机理研究表明,芳基自由基阳离子中间体的生成是该转化成功的关键。
