title: Thiol as a synthon for preparing thiocarbonyl: aerobic oxidation of thiols for the synthesis of thioamides.
abstract: It is a constant challenge to develop an environmentally friendly, atom-economical, and step-economical method for the preparation of thioamides. Herein, we describe an oxidation method that affords the direct conversion of thiols to thioamides without the use of exogenous sulfur reagents. This is the first instance of a successful utilization of thiols as a synthon for the preparation of thioamides under economical conditions.
