电驱动硫化学合成研究进展

doi:10.6023/cjoc202604034

摘要/Abstract

有机硫分子广泛出现于药物化学、功能材料、能源转移储存以及食品化学领域. 硫, 广泛的多价态(－2、0、＋2、＋4、＋6)赋予其独特的氧化还原特性, 令其合成高度依赖氧化还原的精准调控. 传统方法依赖过氧化物、高价碘等非绿色氧化剂, 存在原子经济性低、过度氧化、副产物污染等瓶颈. 电催化以电子为绿色氧化还原试剂, 通过电压、电流、电极、电解质精准调控电子转移速率与路径, 实现硫原子价态的精准调控转化, 兼具安全、高选择性与优异原子经济性. 此综述围绕电催化绿色氧化还原催化模式, 系统梳理电驱动硫化学的各类合成策略, 归纳总结相关研究进展, 并深入剖析其反应作用机制.

Organic sulfur compounds are widely used in medicinal chemistry, functional materials, energy conversion and storage, and food chemistry. The unique multivalent redox properties of sulfur atoms (－2, 0, ＋2, ＋4, ＋6) make their synthesis highly dependent on precise redox regulation. Traditional methods rely on hazardous oxidants such as peroxides and hypervalent iodine, suffering from low atom economy, over-oxidation, and byproduct contamination. Electrocatalysis employs electrons as green redox reagents, enabling stepwise and controllable transformation of sulfur valence states by precisely regulating electron transfer rates and pathways through potential, current, electrodes, and media, offering a green, safe, highly selective, and atom-economical approach. This article focuses on the electrocatalytic green redox catalysis mode, systematically sorts out various synthetic strategies of electro-driven sulfur chemistry, summarizes the related research progress, and deeply analyzes its reaction mechanism.

Key words: sulfur chemistry, electrochemistry, electroredox
