Abstract In a one-pot procedure, bromineless brominating reagent 1, 1′-(ethane-1, 2-diyl) dipyridinium bistribromide (EDPBT) has been used as a desulfurizing agent in the preparation of organic cyanamides and substituted thiazoles starting from dithiocarbamic acid salts. In this approach, alkyl/aryl isothiocyantes were first obtained by the desulfurization of dithiocarbamic acid salts with EDPBT. The in situ–generated ...
