主 题:Alkyl thiocyanate Alkyl halide Tetrabutylammonium bromide Phase transfer catalyst Synthesis of alkyl thiocyanates
摘 要:A simple and environmentally friendly method is described for the efficient conversion of alkyl halide to alkyl thiocyanate using tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst. The reactions occur in water and furnish the corresponding alkyl thiocyanate in high yields. No evidence for the formation of isothiocyanates as by-product of the reaction was observed and the products were obtained in pure form without further purification.
