Abstract

The electro reductive cyclization of carbon disulphide in nonaqueous solvent is reported here. At constant potential, the electrolysis of carbon disulphide was carried out in the presence of an electrophile i.e. alkyl cation, acyl cation etc. using N/N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile or DMSO as a nonaqueous solvent and tetrabutylammonium iodide, tetraethylammonium phosphate as a supporting electrolyte. Electro reductive cyclization of carbon disulphide gives 4,5-disubstituted thio-1,3-dithiole-2-thione at platinum cathode. This is a one pot electrochemical synthesis which takes place at room temperature.
