S-(2-pyridinyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethylthiouronium hexafluorophosphate. A new reagent for the synthesis of 2-pyridinethiol esters.
[reaction: see text] A new thiouronium-based reagent for the synthesis of 2-pyridinethiol esters under non-nucleophilic conditions from the corresponding carboxylic acids was developed. The resulting procedure enables the preparation of previously unavailable alpha,beta-unsaturated 2-pyridinethiol esters as well as their aliphatic and aromatic counterparts.
