Reactions of Trimethylsilyl Isothiocyanate with Aldehydes and Acetals. Synthesis of Symmetrically and Unsymmetrically Isothiocyanato-Substituted Ethers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.60.2289

The reactions of trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate (TMSTC) with aldehydes catalyzed by Lewis acid gave α,α'-diisothiocyanato ethers in good to excellent yields.Similarly, unsymmetrical α-isothiocyanato ethers were obtained from the reactions of TMSTC with acetals in appropriate yieds.
