Abstract

The electrophilic thiocyanation of aromatic, hetero aromatic and ketone compounds is a direct way for carbon sulfur bond formation and is a very useful reaction in organic synthesis [1]. The thiocyanate function is an interesting part of the molecule, which will be readily transformed into the other sulfur-bearing functionalities, especially for producing compounds with pharmaceutical properties [2]. Therefore, it is important to find new and fast methods for synthesis of ...
