N-Acyl-N-alkyl-N'-hydroxypyridine-2-thione carbamates (N-acyl PTOC carbamates) 1 are prepared in good to excellent yield by reactions of N-acylcarbamoyl chlorides with N- hydroxypyridine-2-thione sodium salt. Methods for production of the requisite carbamoyl chlorides by reaction of a secondary amide with trimethylsilyl triflate followed by treatment with phosgene were optimized. Precursors 1 react in radical chain reactions to give the ...
