A two-stage synthesis of the novel compound 1-(1-methyl-5-thiocyanato-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole utilizing electrochemistry as an environmentally benign tool is reported. The structure of the target molecule was confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and HRMS. The compound exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activity comparable to chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, and fluconazole.

In this work, we carried out a double C–H thiocyanation of 7-methoxy-1H-indole to afford the novel 7-methoxy-3,4-dithiocyanato-1H-indole in good yield. The structure of the target product was confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and HRMS.
