The biologically important isothiocyanate sulforaphane (4- isothiocyanatobutyl methyl sulfoxide) was synthesized in six simple steps from commercially available 4-aminobutan-1-ol with an overall yield of 64%. The new synthetic method is suitable for multigram-scale preparation of sulforaphane and does not require expensive or toxic reagents. A novel one-pot procedure was also developed for preparing isothiocyanates through reaction of amines with O-phenyl chlorothioformate under mild conditions. Additionally, methyl pyrrolidine-1-carbodithioate was obtained as an unexpected byproduct, and this protocol was shown to be useful for the synthesis of S-aryl or S-heterocyclic thiocarbamates with cyclic side chains.

A facile and efficient synthesis of isothiocyanates from amines is described. This method involves the reaction of amines with phenyl chlorothionoformate in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide by either a one-pot process or a two-step approach. The one-pot process is useful for preparing alkyl and electron-rich aryl isothiocyanates, whereas the two-step approach is more versatile, working very well not only for alkyl and electron-rich aryl isothiocyanates, but also for highly electron-deficient aryl and heterocyclic isothiocyanates.

The aminolysis of aryl chlorothionoformates (7, YC6H 4OC(=S)Cl) with anilines (XC6H4NH2) in acetonitrile at 5.0 °C has been investigated. The rates are slower than those for the corresponding reactions of aryl chloroformates (6, YC 6H4OC(=O)Cl). This rate sequence is a reverse of that for alkyl chloroformates (1 4) in water, for which rate-limiting formation of a tetrahedral intermediate, T±, is predicted. On the basis of the large negative cross-interaction constant, ρXY = -0.77, failure of the reactivity-selectivity principle, normal kH/k D values involving deuterated nucleophiles (XC6H 4ND2), and low ΔH≠ with large negative ΔS≠ values, a concerted mechanism with a four-membered hydrogen bonded cyclic transition state (11) is proposed for the title reaction series. It has been shown that the solvent change from water to acetonitrile for the aminolysis of 6 and 7 causes a mechanistic change from stepwise to concerted.
