Abstract

Cathode reduction of a series of aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic thiols on a rotating disk Pt electrode in abs. MeCN against the background of 0.1N Bu4NClO4 was investigated. It was found that this process results in the formation of the corresponding thiolate anions whose oxidation half-wave potentials are linearly correlated with their nucleophilicity in theS N 2 reaction.
