Peng, Han-Ying und Dong, Zhi-Bing (2019): Transition-Metal-Free C(sp(3))-S Coupling in Water: Synthesis of Benzyl Dithiocarbamates Using Thiuram Disulfides as an Organosulfur Source. In: European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Vol. 2019, No. 5: pp. 949-956

Abstract

A simple, highly efficient and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of benzyl dithiocarbamates was reported. Without addition of metal catalyst, a series of 34 benzyl dithiocarbamates were obtained in good to excellent yields by treating benzyl halides with tetraalkylthiuram disulfides in water. The protocol allows easy access to C(sp(3))-S bond formation, features the advantages of easy performance, environmental friendliness, good to excellent yields, and good functional tolerance, showing potential value for the preparation of some biologically active compounds.
