Adsorption effects on the selective electrofluorination of α-(phenylthio)acetamides and α-(phenylthio)acetates in Et3N·3HF/CH3CN
摘要:
Cyclic voltammetric behaviour of alpha-(phenylthio)acetamides and alpha-(phenylthio)acetates were compared in CH3CN/tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) and CH3CN/Et3N . 3HF to assess the influence of fluoride ion on the oxidative pathway. These studies support the Pummerer mechanistic pathway involving an initial attack at sulfur in selective electrofluorination (SEF). A linear correlation between the peak current values in cyclic voltammetry and overall synthetic yield in preparative electrolysis was obtained suggesting the importance of weak blocking or a reactive adsorption effect on the overall synthetic processes. Other factors influencing the adsorption and insulation of electrode surfaces during the SEF are also discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
