Expeditious microwave-assisted thionation with the system PSCl3/H2O/Et3N under solvent-free condition.
A novel thionation protocol for carbonyl compounds, with the system PSCl3/H2O/Et3N has been discovered. Clean, rapid, and efficient synthesis of a variety of thiocarbonyl compounds such as thioamides, thiolactams, thioketones, thioxanthones, and thioacridone can be achieved through this simple and convenient method under solventless condition with microwave irradiation.
