Process for the synthesis of an isothiocyanate of general formula (I) SCN-R1-R4-R2 in which R1 and R2 represent, independently of one another, an alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group, R4 represents a carbonyl, sulphinyl or sulphonyl group or a sulphide and derivatives thereof comprising a step of reacting an alkylalkylamine having the general formula (II) NH2 _R1 _ R4 _R2 in which R1 and R2 represent, independently of one another, an alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group, R4 represents a carbonyl, sulphinyl, sulphonyl or sulphide group, in the presence of carbon sulphide and of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate with formation of the aforesaid corresponding isothiocyanate, compounds obtained by this process and also uses thereof. |
