The application relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for electrochemically synthesizing
isothiocyanate. The method for electrochemically synthesizing
isothiocyanate comprises the following steps: sequentially adding an
electrolyte, an electrolytic
solvent and a reaction substrate into an
electrolytic cell without a diaphragm, inserting an
anode and a
cathode, stirring, performing reaction under the condition of
constant current at normal pressure, and after the reaction is completed, performing organic extraction on the
electrolyte, and then separating and purifying
isothiocyanate; the potential interval is 0.3-2.0 V; the electrolytic
solvent is a halogenated
alkane and / or a
halogenated alcohol; the reaction substrate is an aromatic derivative with an
ethyl group and
trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate; the temperature is controlled in the range of 10-40 DEG C; the
cathode and the
anode are modified by a catalyst, and the catalyst is a bimetallic
alloy nanoparticle formed by a carbon-supported
noble metal and a
transition metal element. The application meets the demand of the
reaction mechanism of high-efficiency synthesis of isothiocyanate, and efficiently generates isothiocyanate products.
