Electrochemical-induced regioselective C-3 thiomethylation of imidazopyridines <i>via</i> a three-component cross-coupling strategy

Abstract

The electrochemical-induced regioselective C-3 thiomethylation of imidazopyridines has been initially accomplished <italic>via</italic> a three-component cross-coupling strategy using thiocyanate as the sulfur source and methanol as the methyl reagent.
