Abstract
A novel synthetic method has been developed for generating thio(seleno)cyanato-substituted thiazolidine-2-imines via an electrochemical one-pot cascade reaction. This reaction employs isothiocyanates, N-2-en-1-amines, and KSCN (or KSeCN) under mild conditions, obviating the need for metals, chemical oxidants, and external electrolytes. The protocol is effective with unactivated alkenes and facilitates the synthesis of five- and six-membered thio(seleno)cyanato-substituted thiazolidine-2-imines. The versatility is demonstrated by its straightforward operation and scalability to gram-scale production, underscoring its potential for broader application.
