Design and Use of Electrophilic Thiocyanating and Selenocyanating Reagents: An Interesting Trend for the Construction of SCN? and SeCN?Containing Compounds

Organothiocyanate and organoselenocyanate compounds are of paramount importance in organic chemistry as they key intermediates to access sulfur- selenium-containing compounds. Therefore, among the different synthetic pathways get SCN- SeCN-containing molecules, original methodologies using electrophilic reagents have recently been explored. This Minireview will showcase recent advances that made. In particular, design several sources their applications for thiocyanation selenocyanation various classes be highlighted discussed.
