The invention relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, in particular to a method for electrochemical synthesis of
isothiocyanate. The invention relates to a method for electrochemical synthesis of
isothiocyanate, which comprises the following steps: sequentially adding an
electrolyte, an electrolytic
solvent and a reaction substrate into a diaphragm-free electrolytic tank, inserting an
anode and a
cathode, stirring, carrying out a reaction under the conditions of normal pressure and
constant current, after the reaction is completed, carrying out organic extraction on the
electrolyte, and then separating and purifying to obtain the
isothiocyanate, the potential interval is 0.3 to 2.0 V; the electrolytic
solvent is halogenated
alkane and / or
halogenated alcohol, the reaction substrates are aromatic derivatives with ethyl and
trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate, and the temperature is controlled to be 10-40 DEG C; the
cathode and the
anode are modified by a catalyst, and the catalyst is bimetallic
alloy nanoparticles formed by a carbon-loaded
noble metal and a
transition metal element. According to the method, the
reaction mechanism requirement of efficient synthesis of isothiocyanate is met, and the isothiocyanate product is efficiently generated through the reaction.
