Abstract

A facile method for the preparation of thioacids in moderate to good yields has been developed by hydrolysis of 1-(acylthio) ethaniminium chlorides under a liquid-liquid two phase system consisting of benzene and a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at room temperature. We have achieved facile preparation of these compounds without use of toxic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.
