The Vilsmeier reagent derived from N-formylmorpholine produces chlorothioformates from primary and secondary alkyl xanthates. The major side products are the corresponding alkyl chlorides. Secondary alkyl chlorothioformates give lower yields due to their instability. Treating xanthates with other common chlorinating agents (oxalyl chloride, thionyl chloride) gives only dialkyl thiodicarbonates. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
