A novel one-pot synthesis of isothiocyanates and cyanamides from dithiocarbamate salts using environmentally benign reagent tetrapropylammonium tribromide
Abstract
A highly efficient and simple protocol for the synthesis of isothiocyanates and cyanamides from their respective amines in the presence of a mild, efficient, and non-toxic reagent tetrapropylammonium tribromide is described. High environmental acceptability of the reagents, cost effectiveness and high yields are the important attributes of this methodology.
