| abstract |
A method for synthesizing an isothiocyanate of general formula (I) SCN-R1-R4-R2 (I) wherein R1 and R2 represent independently of each other an alkyl-aryl or aryl group, R4 represents a carbonyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl group or a sulfide group and of its derivatives comprising a step for reacting an alkylalkylamine having the general formula (II) NH2-R1-R4-R2 (II) wherein R1 and R2 represent independently of each other an alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group, R4 represents a carbonyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl or sulfide group, in the presence of carbon sulfide and of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate with formation of the corresponding aforesaid isothiocyanate, compounds obtained by this method as well as their uses. |
