Iodine-catalyzed cross-coupling of isocyanides and thiols for the synthesis of S-thiocarbamates

Abstract

A novel and efficient metal free, redox-neutral method for the synthesis of secondary thiocarbamates by cross-coupling of readily available thiophenol and isocyanides has been developed. The present methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope with good to excellent yields without an additive/extra oxidant under mild reaction conditions catalyzed by inexpensive iodine as the catalyst.
