An efficient isocyanide-based synthesis of S-thiocarbamates was discovered and thoroughly investigated. The new reaction protocol is a one-pot procedure and allows the direct conversion of N-formamides into thiocarbamates by initial dehydration with p-toluene sulfonyl chloride to the respective isocyanide and subsequent addition of a sulfoxide component. Contrary to recent literature, which also uses isocyanides as starting material, but with other sulfur reagents than sulfoxides, in this protocol, no isolation and purification of the isocyanide component is necessary, thus significantly decreasing the environmental impact and increasing the efficiency of the synthesis. The new protocol was applied to synthesize a library of sixteen thiocarbamates, applying four N-formamides and four commercially available sulfoxides. Furthermore, experiments were conducted to investigate the reaction mechanism. Finally, four norbornene-based thiocarbamate monomers were prepared and applied in controlled ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions. The polymers were characterized by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and their properties were investigated utilizing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Direct reaction of isocyanides with some sulfenic-acid-generating sulfoxides led to the effective formation of the corresponding thiocarbamic acid S-esters in good to high yields. A multicomponent reaction involving isocyanide, sulfoxide, and a suitable nucleophile has also been developed, providing ready access to a diverse range of sulfur-containing compounds, including isothioureas, carbonimidothioic acid esters, and carboximidothioic acid esters.
