ChemInform Abstract: Carboxylic Acid Anhydrides as Acylating Agents in the Synthesis of Isothiocyanates.
ChemInform Abstract
The reaction between the vinyloxyamine (I), CS2 (II) and NEt3 affords triethylammonium 2-vinyloxyethyldithiocarbamate which is acylated in situ by carboxylic acid anhydrides, as e.g. acetanhydride, to yield the desired product (III).
