O. Prakash et al., alpha-thiocyanation of carbonyl and beta-dicarbonyl compounds using (dichloroiodo)benzene-lead(II) thiocyanate, J ORG CHEM, 66(6), 2001, pp. 2019-2023
The combination reagent (dichloroiodo)benzene and lead(II) thiocyanate in d
ichloromethane effects oxidation of various enol silyl ethers, ketene silyl
acetals, and beta -dicarbonyl compounds, thereby providing an efficient an
d convenient method for alpha -thiocyanation of carbonyl and beta -dicarbon
yl compounds.
