A novel, convenient and economical method was developed for the anodic thiocyanation of nitrogen-containing aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds by constant potential electrolysis of potassium thiocyanate in an undivided cell under mild condition (25°C, Pt anode, CH3CN) with yields up to 91%. The products were characterized by spectroscopic methods and a mechanism was deduced from voltammetry studies. The salient features of proposed procedure ensures mild reaction conditions, shortest reaction time, accelerated rate, high yield, cost-effectiveness, selectivity, and simple work up procedure, Which provide additional advantages in the context of green chemistry.

Clean, practical, and efficient electrochemical synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant 4H-pyran derivatives by one-pot three-component combination of an aryl aldehyde, malononitrile, and a dicarbonyl compoundis developed. The synthesis is performed in ethanol with lithium perchlorate as a supporting electrolyte in an undivided cell on a platinum electrode under constant potential electrolysis conditions.

A facile and Eco-compatible synthesis of benzofuran derivatives (4a-4h) has been carried out at platinum electrode by electrochemical oxidation of catechol in the presence of active methylene groups. Electro- organic synthesis has been performed in an undivided cell at ambient conditions. The products of electrolysis have been purified and characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR and mechanism was deduced by voltammetric studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel, efficient, and ecocompatible electro copolymerization of anilines at platinum electrode using acetonitrile as non-aqueous solvent and lithiumperchlorate as supporting electrolyte was carried and described here. The progress and mechanistic study of copolymerization was done using cyclic voltammetry. The reaction proceeded smoothly and quantitatively at ambient temperature. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The electroorganic synthesis of 5-substituted-2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoIes from semicarbazone and 5-substituted-2-amino (substituted amino)- 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from acylhydrazines and isothiocyanates were carried out at platinum electrode. This is an environmentally benign method in the field of electroorganic reactions under controlled potential electrolysis at platinum electrode in an undivided cell. The use of a non-aqueous solvent and supporting electrolyte facilitate cyclization on platinum electrode in this technique. The details of this synthetic method are described in the text.
