Abstract
The electrooxidation of benzo[b]thiophene and 2-methyl- and 3-methyl-benzo[b]thiophene was carried out in methanol containing sodium cyanide at a Pt anode in a divided cell. In all instances, heterocyclic ring-substitution products were obtained, together with minor amounts of addition products. With methylbenzo[b]thiophene, a small amount of side-chain-methoxylation product was also formed as a by-product.
