Elektroreduktion organischer Verbindungen, 9¹⁾ Vereinfachte elektrochemische Darstellung von Thioacetalen aus Dithioestern

Abstract

Electroreduction of Organic Compounds, 9 1) . – Convenient electrochemical Preparation of Thioacetals from Dithioesters Thioacetals are obtained as main products on electroreduction of alkyl dithiocarboxylates of various types in the presence of dimethyl sulfate in methanol. ( Z )‐ and ( E )‐1,2‐diaryl‐1,2‐bis‐(methylthio)ethenes are formed as byproducts. No reduction to form benzyl sulfides occurs.
