In summary, we have successfully developed a visible-light-
promoted protocol for the synthesis of thiocarbamates from
isocyanides, thiols, and water at room temperature. The
present protocol, which utilizes a simple and cheap photo-
catalyst, readily available starting materials, and environ-
mentally benign conditions, provides an attractive approach
to various thiocarbamates in moderate to good yields. Further
investigation of the detailed reaction mechanism and synthetic
application are currently being pursued in our laboratory.
