A new and efficient method for the synthesis of thiourea derivatives by a sequential one-pot, three-component reaction between aromatic isocyanides, amines, and 1,2-di-tert-butyldisulfane (DTBS) was developed and 27 different examples were synthesized in good to excellent yields. DTBS was identified as an effective sulfur surrogate without the use of both catalysts and solvents. This protocol does not employ any transition metal catalyst or special experimental setup.

2-Haloaryl-sec-alkyl unsymmetrical thioureas (Tu) (halo = -F, -Cl) with a catalytic amount of Cu(ii) salt get oxidised in situ to their disulfide intermediates followed by an imine-disulfide rearrangement to give thioamidoguanidino (Tag) moieties at room temperature. During this process Cu(ii) gets reduced to Cu(i) and forms a complex with the Tag moiety from which Tag moiety can be isolated upon treatment with ammonia. However, when the same reaction was performed at an elevated temperature with a catalytic quantity of Cu(ii) salt, Tu bearing o-halogens (-F, -Cl) gave 2-aminobenzothiazoles via a dehalogenative heteroarylation path and not by the Hugerschoff path involving an electrophilic substitution reaction. For thioureas containing reactive ortho halogens (such as -Br, -I) the reaction proceeds at room temperature giving 2-aminobenzothiazoles via a dehalogenative path requiring a catalytic quantity of Cu(ii). No transformation of thiourea (Tu) to Tag was observed with Cu(i) salts suggesting the requirement of an oxidising Cu(ii) salt for this oxidative transformation. Mild reaction conditions, environmentally benign reagents and solvent, high yields, tolerance of various functional groups are some of the essential features of this methodology.
