Anodic Fluorination, Methoxylation, Acetoxylation, and Cyanation of Heteroatom Organic Compounds Using Boron‐Doped Diamond, GC, and Pt Electrodes

Abstract

AbstractVarious anodic substitution reactions such as fluorination, methoxylation, acetoxylation, and cyanation of heteroatom compounds containing a sulfur or nitrogen atom were comparatively studied using boron‐doped diamond (BDD), Pt, and glassy carbon (GC) anodes. It was found that BDD anode is highly effective for these anodic substitution reactions similarly to Pt anode although both BDD and GC electrodes are carbon‐based materials.
