image of Electro-sustainable Synthesis: Rapid and Efficient Production of Benzothiazole Derivatives through Electrochemical Means for Sustainable Chemistry

Abstract

Electro-organic synthesis suggested a mild, environmentally benign, and atom-efficient pathway to interesting and useful organic compounds. Organic electrochemistry offers an excellent alternative to conventional methods of organic synthesis, avoiding harsh, oxidizing and reducing agents, . In our reported work, electro-organic synthesis was carried out in an undivided cell at room temperature in the presence of lithium perchlorate as a supporting electrolyte. Electricity is utilized here instead of a chemical substance with a simple graphite-iron electrode combination. The generation of 2-substituted benzothiazoles was achieved through the amalgamation of bis(2-aminophenyl)disulfides with aromatic aldehydes under the influence of the electrodes. This synthetic process yielded a diverse array of 2-substituted benzothiazoles with satisfactory to excellent yields (64-91%). This is a gentle, sustainable, and metal-free condition for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles. In this procedure, subsequent procedural steps encompassed the introduction of distilled water followed by filtration and drying processes to ensure the refinement of the final products.
