Phosphorus pentasulfide mediated conversion of organic thiocyanates to thiols
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we report an efficient and mild procedure for the conversion of organic thiocyanates to thiols in the presence of phosphorus pentasulfide (P2S5) in refluxing toluene. The method avoids the use of expensive and hazardous transition metals and harsh reducing agents, as required by reported methods, and provides an attractive alternative to the existing methods for the conversion of organic thiocyanates to thiols.

Oxidative nucleophilic strategy for synthesis of thiocyanates and trifluoromethyl sulfides from thiols.
Thiocyanates and trifluoromethyl sulfides are important compounds and have classically been synthesized via multistep procedures together with the formation of significant amounts of byproducts. Herein, we demonstrate an oxidative nucleophilic strategy for the synthesis of thiocyanates and trifluoromethyl sulfides from thiol starting materials using nucleophilic reagents such as TMSCN and TMSCF...
متن کاملTriptycene-Based Microporous Polymer Incorporating Thioamide Functionality: Preparation and Gas Storage Properties
Triptycene-based micorporous polymer was functionalized with thioamide moieties via post-polymerization using phosphorus pentasulfide as a thionating agent in the presence of sodium sulfite. Gas adsorption experiments indicate that the modification leads to a reduction in the BET surface area of the polymer, from 1640 m g for the parent TMP to 207 m g on 74% conversion of nitrile to thioamide, ...
متن کاملGeneral and practical formation of thiocyanates from thiols.
A new method for the cyanation of thiols and disulfides using cyanobenziodoxol(on)e hypervalent iodine reagents is described. Both aliphatic and aromatic thiocyanates can be accessed in good yields in a few minutes at room temperature starting from a broad range of thiols with high chemioselectivity. The complete conversion of disulfides to thiocyanates was also possible. Preliminary computatio...

متن کاملThionation with the reagent combination of phosphorus pentasulfide and hexamethyldisiloxane.
The combination of P4S10 and hexamethyldisiloxane efficiently converts esters, lactones, amides, lactams, and ketones to their corresponding thiono derivatives. In the presence of elemental sulfur, 3-oxoesters are converted to dithiolethiones by this reagent. Yields are comparable to or superior to those obtained with Lawesson's reagent. The method has the advantage that reagent-derived byprodu...
