The two-electron oxidation of water (2e-WOR) has been studied in the past as a possible method for the alternative preparation of hydrogen peroxide. Often, fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) is used as an anode and FTO itself was found also to be active for 2e-WOR. Because one use of H2O2is as an oxygen donor for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of ketones catalyzed by tin compounds and materials, presently we were interested in studying the use of in situ formed H2O2for these reactions. First, the formation of H2O2was verified in an acetonitrile/water solvent in a 2e-WOR reaction, which is more efficient than a comparable reaction in water in terms of the H2O2concentration attained and faradaic efficiency at comparable potentials, that is, ～3 V vs SHE. Second, initial studies on oxygenation of reactive substrates such as sulfides showed normalized reaction rates (NRRs) for two-electron oxidation reactions that were about 3 times higher than the NRR for H2O2formation, indicating the formation of an active oxygen-donating or oxidizing species on the electrode surface prior to the formation and release of H2O2into solution. Third, the Baeyer-Villiger oxygenation of 2-adamantanone at 2.1 V versus SHE in acetonitrile/water showed both the formation of the expected lactone product and hydroxylation at both tertiary and secondary C-H bonds. Hydroxylation is most easily explained by the presence of hydroxyl radical species as supported by the formation of a spin adduct and its identification by electron paramagnetic resonance. However, the potential used, 2.1 V versus SHE, is an underpotential for the formation of a solvated hydroxyl radical in solution, thereby leading to the conclusion that surface-bound hydroxyl species, OH*, are those that are reactive for the apparent one-electron water oxygenation reaction. Fourth, it was shown that although H2O2can be thermally activated on FTO as a catalyst to a minor degree, electrochemical activation is by far more significant, leading to the use of FTO as an electrochemical catalyst for activation of H2O2for the Baeyer-Villiger oxygenation and also alkene epoxidation.
Novel efficient aromatic arylthiolation by disulfide radical cations generated by oxidation of diaryl disulfides

The disulfide radical cation was generated by oxidation of diphenyl disulfide using H2SO4 in CF3CO2H or SbCl5 in CH2Cl2, and allowed to react with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, chlorobenzene, anisole and alkyl phenyl sulfides to give efficiently para-substituted diphenyl sulfides along with a small amount of the ortho-isomers. The intermediacy of the radical cation in this aromatic phenylthiolation is consistent with the evidence derived from a Hammett plot with ρ = -7.0 (using SbCl5 in CH2Cl2), from effects of oxidants, counter-anions and solvents and from electronic absorptions (540 and 650 nm). Using di-4-anisyl, di-4-tolyl and di-4-chlorophenyl disulfides instead of diphenyl disulfide, the aromatic arylthiolation similarly occurs via radical cations from their disulfides.

Reactions of hydrazoic acid and alkyl azides with alkyl phenyl sulfides in the presence of both trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and trifluoroacetic acid gave 4-alkylthiophenyl phenyl sulfides in high yields via a phenylsulfenium ion.
