Initial formation of thiocyanogen [(SCN)2] by controlled potential anodic oxidation of NH4SCN in formic acid‐LiClO4 followed by addition of alkene as a second step, has been investigated for eight alkene derivatives. The results indicate that major products from most of the alkenes studied are addition products involving thiocyanate and formate groups. Also minor products of addition of isothiocyanate and thiocyanate groups, and allylic thiocyanates as substitution derivatives, were formed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
