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.
