Molecular iodine-mediated synthesis of thiocarbamates from thiols, isocyanides and water under metal-free conditions†
Abstract
A simple and practical molecular iodine-mediated method for the efficient construction of thiocarbamates from isocyanides, thiols and water under metal-free and mild conditions has been developed. A variety of thiocarbamates were easily synthesized through this methodology, which has the advantages of simple operation, eco-friendly conditions, good functional group tolerance, and readily accessible raw materials.
