Electrocatalytic C-H/S-H Coupling of Amino Pyrazoles and Thiophenols: Synthesis of Amino Pyrazole Thioether Derivatives.

A mild method for the C-H/S-H coupling of pyrazol-5-amines and thiophenols was developed via electrochemistry, giving diverse amino pyrazole thioether derivatives in 37-98% yields. This electrochemical reaction is sustainable and an atom-efficient approach with good functional group tolerance and scalability by avoiding metal and external chemical oxidants.
