Abstract
A new application of the Mukaiyama reagent for the simple phosphine-free conversion of alcohols into the corresponding alkyl thiocyanates is described. This transformation can be achieved either in acetonitrile or under solvent-free conditions and the products obtained in good to excellent yields. The solvent-free procedure described here is the first report on the solvent-free thiocyanation of alcohols.
