“…[32,33] However, it has been shown that this reaction can also be applied to 2-methylpyridine. [34,35] Thus, N-substituted pyridine-2-thiocarboxamides have been prepared by reaction of 2-methylpyridine with primary amines, [34,35] nitro compounds, [34] or N-substituted formamides [16,36] as amine sources in the presence of sulfur at elevated temperatures Scheme 2. Possible amine sources for the synthesis of N-substituted pyridine-2-thiocarboxamides under the conditions of the WillgerodtϪKindler reaction (Scheme 2).…”
