Abstract
Reactions of thioamides with metal carboxylates in organic solvents ar e described. These processes enable the selective preparation of nitri les, imides or amides depending on the substitution pattern of the sta rting material. Mechanistic hypotheses supported by experimental evide nces, including the unequivocal synthesis of bis(thioacetanilide)mercu ry(II) as a key reaction intermediate, are also proposed.
