J. Bernat et al., A CONVENIENT ONE-POT SYNTHESIS OF ALPHA-ISOTHIOCYANATOETHERS AND UNUSUAL COURSE OF SOME OF ITS NUCLEOPHILIC DISPLACEMENT-REACTIONS, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 62(9), 1997, pp. 1491-1496
A simple new method has been devised for the preparation of alpha-isot
hiocyanatoethers 1a-1f in good yields by reaction of PO(NCS)(3) or (Ph
O)(2)PONCS with an equimolar mixture of aldehydes and alcohols. The co
urse of nucleophilic additions of methanol, amines and hydrazine to 1a
-1f is described.
