Abstract

For the first time, the crystal structure of a ditribromide reagent 1, 1′-(ethane-1, 2-diyl) dipyridinium bistribromide (EDPBT) has been determined. Utilizing this thiophilic bromineless brominating agent EDPBT, highly useful synthetic intermediates (alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates) have been achieved directly from dithiocarbamates. EDPBT can be easily prepared from readily available reagents. It has been used as a thiophilic reagent, and its ...
