Reaction Steps

A mixture of dimethyldisulphide (96 mg) in acetonitrile containing cyclohexene (405 mg) was placed in a conventional H-type electrolytic cell. The cell was provided with a number 4 sintered glass frit as divider and with 1 sq. cm. platinum mesh cathode and anode. The potential measurement was made with respect to a Ag/Ag+ (0.01 M) reference electrode. Tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoroborate (0.1 M) was added as electrolyte. A constant potential of 1.20 volts was maintained at the anode with a potentiostat until 2 coulomb equivalents of charge per mole of disulphide had been passed. Water was then added to the anolyte and the aqueous phase extracted with diethyl ether to yield 116 mg of 2-acetamido 1-methylthio cyclohexane. Mass Spec. m/e 187 (parent ion). I.R. 3290 & 1650 cm-1.
