A more sustainable and easier applicable synthesis of aliphatic isocyanides in DMC is introduced using non-hazardous p-toluenesulfonyl chloride as dehydration reagent.
Isothiocyanates were snythesized in a more sustainable manner by sulfurization of isocyanides with elemental sulfur using catalytic amounts of DBU (down to 2 mol%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
