Abstract
We examined the interaction of alkynes and alkadienes with hydrogen sulfide under the conditions of electrochemical initiation of the reaction. One-electron oxidation of hydrogen sulfide leads to the generation of reactive particles (thiyl radical and proton), which react with unsaturated hydrocarbons by two different routes. Hydrogen sulfide acts as a bifunctional reagent forming new C-S bonds, but also exhibits the properties of hydrogenating agent. Varying the experiment duration, reactants ratio, and solvent, it is possible to influence the composition and amount of the formed organic sulfur compounds.
