A Novel One-pot Synthesis of Isothiocyanates and Cyanamides from Dithiocarbamate Salts Using Environmentally Benign Reagent Tetrapropylammonium Tribromide

摘要

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.
