An electrochemical desulfurization of 2-mercapto-imidazoles to the corresponding imidazole is established. This novel anodic transformation is bromide-mediated and easy to conduct in the simplest electrochemical setup, consisting of an undivided cell, carbon electrodes, and constant current electrolysis. The method proved successful in 14 diverse examples of imidazoles and triazoles with up to a 97% yield. The scalability was proven in the multigram synthesis of a technically relevant N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursor.
建立了一种将2-巯基咪唑电化学脱硫转化为相应咪唑的方法。这种新型的阳极转化是由溴化物介导的,并且易于在最简单的电化学装置中进行,该装置由一个无隔膜电解槽、碳电极和恒流电解组成。该方法在14个不同的咪唑和三唑实例中均取得成功,产率高达97%。在多克规模合成一种具有技术相关性的N-杂环卡宾(NHC)配体前体时,证明了该方法的可扩展性。
