Deaminative carbonylative thioesterification of activated alkylamines with thiophenols under transition-metal-free conditions†
Abstract
In this communication, a transition-metal-free deaminative carbonylation of activated alkylamines with thiophenols has been developed. Thioesters with various substituents were produced in moderate to good yields through Katritzky salt intermediates.
