Abstract

A general and convenient method for a one-pot conversion of aldehydes and ketones into thioamides has been developed. The protocol involves oximation of aldehydes and ketones followed by deoxygenative thioamidation of oximes with O, O-diethyl dithiophosphoric acid which acts as an acid as well a source of sulfur. The method is operationally simple, high yielding, and also applicable to the conversion of amides and nitriles into the ...
