Benzylic Intermolecular Carbon−Carbon Bond Formation by Selective Anodic Oxidation of Dithioacetals
journal contribution
posted on 2001-03-27, 00:00 authored by Kazuhiro Chiba, Rikiya Uchiyama, Shokaku Kim, Yoshikazu Kitano, Masahiro TadaNovel anodic intermolecular carbon−carbon bond formation has been accomplished by the oxidative carbon−sulfur bond fission of benzylic
dithioacetals to give a wide variety of aromatic compounds. The substitution reaction successfully took place by the selective anodic oxidation
of a sulfur atom of a dithioacetal. Stepwise double-substitution reactions were also achieved by the regulation of oxidation potential.
