O,S-Dimethyl carbonodithioate is proposed as a suitable and safely handled reagent that can be used as a replacement for phosgene in the synthesis of S-methyl alkyl- and dialkylcarbamothioates. The former were obtained by a two-step procedure, which can also be carried out in a one-pot fashion without isolating the intermediates O-methyl alkylcarbamothioates; the overall yields of the pure S-methyl alkylcarbamothioates were 94-98%. Optimal conditions for the synthesis of S-methyl dialkylcarbamothioates involved a one-step procedure in a solvent-free system in the presence of triethyl(methyl)ammonium methyl carbonate as a catalyst; yields of the pure products were 85-98%. A mechanism is proposed for the carbamothioate-formation reaction. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
