Synthesis of Thiocarbamates from Thiols and Isocyanates Under Catalyst- and Solvent-Free Conditions

Abstract

A simple and efficient procedure was developed for the synthesis of S-alkyl (aryl) thiocarbamates under solvent-free conditions without the use of a catalyst. The significant features of this protocol are (a) operational simplicity, (b) mild reaction conditions, (c) short reaction times, (d) solvent-free conditions, and (e) high product yields.
