Abstract
A convenient procedure for one-pot conversion of alcohols into the corresponding alkyl thiocyanates in the presence of cross-linked poly (N-propyl-4-vinylpyridinium) thiocyanate ion [P4-VP]Pr-SCN, promoted by cyanuric chloride/dimethylformamide, is described. Various alcohols were converted to their corresponding alkyl thiocyanates and it was observed that substituted benzyl alcohol with electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups were transformed into the corresponding benzyl thiocyanate derivatives in high to excellent yields in a short reaction time but, sterically hindered alcohols produced the corresponding thiocyanates in very low yields.
