“…Thioamides and their derivatives are useful synthons in organic synthesis, 12 such as in regio-and stereoselective heterocyclization reactions. 13 Moreover, they can be used as flotation 14 and vulcanization agents, 15 as additives to lubricating oils and greases 16 and as interesting ligands in coordination chemistry. 17 Thioamides are often prepared via the reaction of isothiocyanates with aromatic compounds catalyzed by Lewis acids 18 (Scheme 2A), thioacylation of amines with thioformates, 19 dimethyl thioformamide, 20 or carbon mono 21 or disulfide 22 (Scheme 2B), formal oxygen−sulfur replacement on oxoamides in the presence of thionating agents including the Lawesson reagent, 23 phosphorus pentasulfide, 24 or elemental sulfur 25 (Scheme 2B), partial reduction of isothiocyanates with reducing agents (Scheme 2C), 26 and Schwartz reagent (Scheme 2,D).…”
