Electrochemical Sequential Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling for the Chemoselective Synthesis of Bis(arylthio)-Substituted Biphenyl Diamines

Controlling C–C and C–S bond formation in one oxidative operation remains challenging because the two coupling modes compete and thiols are prone to overoxidation. Herein, we report an oxidant- and transition-metal-catalyst-free electrochemical strategy for synthesizing symmetric 3,3′-bis(arylthio)-4,4′-biphenylenedi...
