2.6- Lutidinium perchlorate

An interesting application of the electrochemical oxidation of thiocyanate ion is the preparation of alkyl and aryl thiocyanates via anodically generated thiocyanogen. Alcohols have been converted to the corresponding thiocyanates by constant current electrolysis of NaSCN in CH2CI2 containing triphenylphosphite and 2,6-lutidinium perchlorate. The yields were fair to good for the primary and secondary alcohols, but no thiocyanate formation was observed with tertiary ones. Similarly, various aromatic amines and phenols were thiocyanated in a two-step procedure, namely electrochemical preparation of (SCN)2 and subsequent reaction with the substrates k... 

Comb-like derivatives of amylose have been prepared by condensation of l,2-(t-butyl orthoacetate) and l,2-(ethyl orthoacetate) derivatives of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-a-D-glucopyranose with 2,3-di-O-phenylcarbamoyl derivatives of amylose in boiling chlorobenzene in the presence of 2,6-lutidinium perchlorate as catalyst. The distance between the branch points, attached mainly by(l- -6)-j3-D- with a small proportion of (l->6)-a-D-linkages as indicated by n.m.r.
