An acetic acid promoted electrochemical synthesis of benzazoles, benzimidazoles, benzthiazoles and benzoxazoles, is reported. The method offers large substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, while using cheap electrolyte. The method uses acetic acid as the electrolyte which has a better solubility in methanol, hence the reaction time is less and product formation is observed in high yield without much side product. This electrochemical method is further utilised to synthesise thiabendazole, fuberidazole, chlormidazole and advance intermediates of bilastine and clemizole in good yields.
