Rapid parallel synthesis of thioamides is described. A library of amides, s
ynthesised by mixing acyl chlorides and diamines, was transformed into the
corresponding thioamides utilising Lawesson's reagent as the oxygen/sulphur
exchange reagent. Purification by solid-phase extraction afforded the libr
ary members in adequate purities and yields. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
