The electrooxidation of benzothiophene and 2-methyl- and 3-methyl-benzothiophene was carried out in methanol containing sodium cyanide at a Pt anode in a divided cell.In all instances, heterocyclic ring-substitution products were obtained, together with minor amounts of addition products.With methylbenzothiophene, a small amount of side-chain-methoxylation product was also formed as a by-product.
